Abstract
The realisation and first static results of a novel monolithic Mach-Ze hnder interferometer (MZI) wavelength converter configuration in InGaA sP/InP MQW technology is reported. The compact all-active three-port M ZI device allows for effective improvement of the on/off ratio up to 1 8dB (from 6 to 26dB) due to direct optical access to one of the interf erometer arms by an extra input branch. This device is very attractive for high-capacity optical networks.
