Abstract

We present an integrated optical serializer designed and fabricated in a multi-project wafer run on indium-phosphide(InP)-based materials. The circuit is designed for a frontend unit in a data readout system. The InP-based technology platform enables monolithic integration of passive and active components. The serialization is provided by means of on-chip optical delay lines. The circuit makes use of electro-optic phase shifters to build amplitude modulators, multimode interference couplers for signal distribution, semiconductor optical amplifiers for signal loss compensation and on-chip reflectors. In this work we present the design and first experimental results of the fabricated device.
