Abstract :
We describe the realization of III-V/silicon-on-insulator photonic integrated circuits for Fiber-to-the-Home transceivers in the central office. Above 0.4A/W responsivity is obtained in the 1310nm band (with polarization dependent loss below 0.5dB). Crosstalk from the 1490nm/1550nm wavelength channel is below -20dB.
