Samenvatting

The first Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI modulator integrated with an arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) based laser shall be demonstrated. A novel 4-channel device as small as 4x8 mm2 is realized, employing only one AWG instead of three needed conventionally. Integration of two required epitaxial layerstacks was realized by growing one waveguide layer, locally removing it and regrowing a second layer in the etched region. The modulator design is optimized using rigorous field simulation of the complex semiconductor layer stack. Almost perfect velocity match and low microwave loss are obtained by 1 µm-narrow waveguides with a 2 µm signal electrode on top.
