Abstract
We present experimental results of an integrated 16-channel, 100-GHz-channe l-spacing wavelength add-drop in silica, It consists of two interleave-chir ped waveguide grating routers connected by an array of: waveguides containi ng thermooptic phase shifters. The fully packaged device has 6.6-7.6-dB fib er-to-fiber insertion loss and a switching extinction ratio >27 dB (>33 dB for a single polarization) when used as an add-drop. It is compact, allowin g for at least four such devices per ii-in-diameter wafer.
