Y. Shibata et al., Semiconductor monolithic add-drop multiplexer using a grating switch integrated with coupler structure, ELECTR LETT, 35(6), 1999, pp. 489-491
A semiconductor monolithic add-drop multiplexer is proposed. An electricall
y tunable grating switch is monolithically integrated with multimode interf
erence couplers, and wavelength selective add-drop multiplexing is achieved
in this structure for the first time. The power penalty is as small as 2dB
.
