On-chip 1 by 8 coarse wavelength division multiplexer and multi-wavelength source on ultra-silicon-rich nitride
Abstract:
An 8-channel coarse wavelength division multiplexer (CWDM) based on coupled vertical gratings has been designed, fabricated and characterized. The devices are implemented on the ultra-silicon-rich nitride (USRN) platform. The demonstrated device possesses 8 CWDM channels. The absence of free spectral range (FSR) enabled the overall multiplexed bandwidth to span across the S + C + L bands. The CWDM channels meet the specifications stipulated by the International Telecommunications Union G.694.2 standard. The average channel crosstalk is -25dB. Pseudo-Random Bit Sequence 231-1 Non-Return-Zero data at 30Gb/s was launched into the device and a clear eye diagram was obtained. The device was further used with a USRN waveguide generating supercontinuum to create a multi-wavelength source emitting light at 8 CWDM wavelengths.
