Abstract:In this paper the design, fabrication and experimental characterization of an spectral amplitude coded (SAC) optical label swapper monolithically integrated on Indium Phosphide (InP) is presented. The device has a footprint of 4.8x1.5 mm 2 and is able to perform label swapping operations required in SAC at a speed of 155 Mbps. The device was manufactured in InP using a multiple purpose generic integration scheme. Compared to previous SAC label swapper demonstrations, using discrete component assembly, this label swapper chip operates two order of magnitudes faster.

“…12 (a), is to use Sagnac Loop Reflectors (SLRs). This solution employs an MMI coupler in which two of its outputs are connected to each other with a loop waveguide [67]. An alternative approach, shown in Fig.…”

On-Chip Colliding Pulse Mode-locked laser diode (OCCP-MLLD) using multimode interference reflectors

“…One approach is through Sagnac Loop Reflectors (SLRs), composed of an optical multimode interference (MMI) coupler in which two of its outputs are connected to each other with a loop waveguide [16]. These type of mirror structures have been used in linear arrayed waveguide grating multi-wavelength lasers [17]. An alternative approach employs multi-mode interference reflectors (MIRs), which are novel on-chip mirror compact structures that require only the use of a deep etch fabrication step [18].…”
