Abstract

Summary form only given. In this paper a monolithic integration of a laser diode with a polymeric based waveguide is reported as a first step in developing a monolithically integrated multi-wavelength DFB laser array with a passive polymeric optical power combiner. This alternative approach based on polymeric materials offers the advantages of potentially low optical losses and high and easy processability; and the capability of preparation of active and passive components on Ill-V wafers with already processed devices
