An integrated optical channel waveguide-CCD transversal filter

Operation of an integrated optical channel waveguide array-CCD transversal filter is reported. Channel waveguides formed in V-grooves couple directly to the sensor elements of the four phase, double polysilicon CCD. Experimental results include a CCD transfer inefficiency of 1.0 × 10-4and a filter transfer function having good agreement with theoretical results.
