Abstract

We demonstrate a 16-channel, silicon-on-insulator, monolithic integrated slot-blocker. This silicon photonic circuit includes two arrayed waveguide gratings, 16 variable optical attenuators and two vertical fiber couplers. We successfully operate it with 56 Gb/s and 80 Gb/s QPSK optical packets.
