Abstract
Based on silica arrayed waveguide grating technology, a hybrid integrated transmitter optical subassembly was developed. Four direct-modulating distributed feedback lasers and four focusing microlenses were integrated to a coarse wavelength-division multiplexer (CWDM) on a CuW substrate. The four-channel silica-on-silicon CWDM was fabricated with 1.5% refractive index difference and 20-nm wavelength spacing. The experimental results showed that the output optical power was >3 mW with 45 mA of injection current, the slope efficiency was >0.0833 W/A, and the 3-dB bandwidth was broader than 18.15 GHz. The 1-dB compress points were higher than 18 and 15.8 dBm for frequency of 10 and 18 GHz, respectively.
