We present a 75km-reach 100Gb/s DWDM transmitter based on a fully passive, hybrid assembly of a 10x10Gb/s laser array with a low-loss SiO2 AWG, and its optimization for thermal management, low cost and high yield.Show More
Compact parallel transmitters and receivers with an aggregate capacity of 107 Gb/s are built through hybrid integration of arrays of ten 100-GHz spaced directly modulated lasers, arrays of ten avalanche photodiodes, and high-index contrast silica arrayed waveguide grating multi- and demultiplexers. Unamplified transmission over 75 km of standard single-mode fiber and 155-km amplified links is demo...Show More
