Abstract
A multifunctional integrated optical waveguide is provided. The planar optical waveguide structure includes an active gain medium for optical amplification, and a passive component(s) (i.e. arrayed waveguide grating, splitter, and tap) for processing the signal (i.e. multiplexing, demultiplexing, monitoring, add-dropping, routing and splits) on a solid substrate.
Claims17
An integrated optical device formed from a random glassy medium comprising:
- a generally planar substrate;
- and
- a plurality of integrated waveguide devices disposed on the substrate.
