An InP-Based Monolithically Integrated Reconfigurable Optical Add–Drop Multiplexer

We demonstrate an InP-based monolithically integrated reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer consisting of an array waveguide grating, a semiconductor optical amplifier, four 2x2 Mach-Zehnder optical switches, and four PIN photodetectors using the asymmetric twin waveguide technology. The total chip size is 10 x 6 mm, and each of the components in the circuit exhibited performance similar to that achieved in a discrete form. The add-drop functionality of the chip is demonstrated via the routing of the signal from the add port to the drop/output port.
