T. Takeuchi et al., A TRANSCEIVER PIC FOR BIDIRECTIONAL OPTICAL COMMUNICATION FABRICATED BY BANDGAP ENERGY CONTROLLED SELECTIVE MOVPE, IEEE photonics technology letters, 8(3), 1996, pp. 361-363
A transceiver PIC consisting of a DFB-LD, a receiver PD and a Y-shaped
branch waveguides is realized by in-plane bandgap energy controlled s
elective MOVPE, Both active and passive core layers are formed in one
step selective growth, and complicated fabrication procedure is no lon
ger required, More than 1 mW fiber coupled power and 7 GHz receiver ba
ndwidth are obtained, The modulation and detection operations at 500 M
b/s are successfully demonstrated.
