Abstract :
We present ultra-compact wavelength filters in SOI photonic wires: Mach-Zehnder lattice filters and ring resonators, as well as demultiplexers such as AWGs, and planar concave gratings. We also discuss devices for WDM communication and sensing. The circuits were fabricated with CMOS technology.
