Abstract
We present two photonic integrated circuits for application as a front-end data read-out
unit. The PICs have been designed and fabricated in a generic, InP-based technology. The circuits
make use of WDM scheme to read-out the digital data in parallel with a sam- pling frequency of 1
GHz in each channel. The PICs are built with AWGs as wavelength (de-)multiplexers, electro-optical
amplitude modulators (using phase shifter sections in interferometer configuration) and SOAs for
loss compensation. In this work we present the design and the measurement results of the
fabricated devices. Two solutions of the circuits, in reflecting and transmitting configuration,
are discussed.
