We report a high-speed integrated 8-channel transmitter fabricated using a generic InP integration platform. The photonic integrated circuits (PICs) include tunable directly modulated DFB lasers emitting in the C-band, monitoring photodetectors, MMI couplers and output spot size converters. The directly modulated lasers, designed in order to fit within a 100 GHz grid, show a maximum 3-dB small signal bandwidth of 21 GHz and a tunability range of about 4 nm. Operation up to 30 Gb/s per channel is reported for 200+ Gb/s applications.

Abstract

We report a high-speed integrated 8-channel transmitter fabricated using a generic InP integration platform. The photonic integrated circuits (PICs) include tunable directly modulated DFB lasers emitting in the C-band, monitoring photodetectors, MMI couplers and output spot size converters. The directly modulated lasers, designed in order to fit within a 100 GHz grid, show a maximum 3-dB small signal bandwidth of 21 GHz and a tunability range of about 4 nm. Operation up to 30 Gb/s per channel is reported for 200+ Gb/s applications.
