Abstract
By implementing SOAs that guide two waveguides through a single contact active
section, we can reduce dimensions ofphotonic integrated circuits (Tics.) and decrea,ce
the number of electrical contacts of current injection. In this paper we demonstrate
linear 4-channel and 8-channel A WG-based lasers that take advantage of such SOAs.
This resulted in a reduction of the required number of active regions and contacts
by a factor Iwo. Measurements showed that these sources operate with an output power
of I in W per A WG-channel and side-mode suppression ratio better than 40 dB.
The lasers were fabricated in a multi-project wafer run on an indium phosphide (InP,)
based generic photonic integration platform.
