Abstract :
We report a novel narrow-linewidth WDM transmitter operating at 10 Gbps per transmission channel with 275 kHz optical linewidth. The device, which integrates an AWG-based laser using selective DBR-mirrors with a Mach-Zehnder modulator array, has been fabricated in a multi-project wafer run in a generic InP-based foundry process.
