Abstract
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology provides many option s to the design of flexible all-optical networks. To exploit these opt ions to their full potential, Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) for wavelength routing and switching will be indispensable. One of the bas ic building blocks of such PICs is the planar phased-array (PHASAR) wa velength demultiplexer. The monolithic integration of PHASARs with pho todetectors, amplifiers, and other waveguide-based (passive) component s is discussed.
