Large-scale photonic integrated circuits for long-haul transmission and switching

Feature Issue on Nanoscale Integrated Photonics for Optical Networks Dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) large-scale, single-chip transmitter and receiver photonic integrated circuits (PICs), each capable of operating at 100 Gbits/s, have been deployed in the field since the end of 2004. These highly integrated InP chips have significantly changed the economics of long-haul optical transport networks. First, a review of the ten-channel, 100 Gbits/s PIC is presented. Then two extensions of the technology are demonstrated; first is wide temperature, coolerless operation of the 100 Gbits/s PIC, and second is a single integrated chip with 40 channels operating at 40 Gbits/s, capable of an aggregate data rate of 1.6 Tbits/s.

40-Channel Transmitter and Receiver Photonic Integrated Circuits Operating at a per Channel Data Rate 12.5Gbit/s

We demonstrate 40 channel transmitter and receiver large scale photonic integrated circuits operating as a pair at 12.5 Gbit/s.

Large-Scale DWDM Photonic Integrated Circuits

A review of high density, dense wavelength division multiplexed photonic integrated circuits is presented. These integrated circuits have 10 channels or more with aggregate data rates up to 400Gbit/s.

InP integrated photonic circuits for degital optical networking

We review progress in the area of InP large scale photonic integrated circuits (LS-PICs). We will review transmitter and receiver PICs for digital optical networking.
