A semiconductor optical amplifier, a grating demultiplexer and a photo
diode array were integrated in InGaAsP/InP to form a WDM receiver chip
. 10 wavelength channels (TE or TM polarisation) in the 1.54mum wavele
ngth region with a channel spacing of 2nm were detected with a crossta
lk of less than -20dB and a responsivity of up to 8A/W.
