Abstract :
This paper reports on the design and fabrication technologies of compact hybrid integrated 8-channel transmitters and coherent receivers, which are currently developed in the European research project ASTRON for future flexible orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and Nyquist-wavelength division multiplexing (N-WDM) networks.
