A Monolithic InP-based Photonic Integrated Circuit for Optical Arbitrary Waveform Generation

We demonstrate a compact monolithically-integrated InP optical arbitrary waveform generator, consisting of an arrayed waveguide grating pair with 10 GHz channel spacing, 10 high-speed optical amplitude modulators, and 10 high-speed optical phase modulators.
