Abstract :
We demonstrate a compact 40-channel, dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) VMUX/DEMUX by monolithic integration of an echelle grating and high-speed p-i-n VOA on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform. The demonstrated device has low optical loss, low PDL, fast attenuation response speed and an area of only 25mm by 10mm.
