Abstract
This paper presents the design and characterization of an 8-channel integrated comb source spectral processor based on an arrayed-waveguide grating in loop-back configuration, with a channel spacing of 100 GHz. The arrayed waveguide grating has an unconventional mounting, for improved aberration and sidelobes. The design of the arrayed-waveguide grating, following a mathematical modeling method, is covered. The method presented gives an accurate result with the need for little computational power and no need for specific software. The devices, fabricated in a silicon nitride platform, are characterized for their spectral responses. The spectral processor is also characterized for both its amplitude modulation as well as the phase modulation. The phase modulation is characterized using optical frequency domain interferometry.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics is dedicated to the publication of manuscripts reporting novel experimental or theoretical results in the broad field of the science and technology of quantum electronics. The Journal comprises original contributions, both regular papers and letters, describing significant advances in the understanding of quantum electronics phenomena or the demonstration of new devices, systems, or applications. Manuscripts reporting new developments in systems and applications must emphasize quantum electronics principles or devices. The scope of JQE encompasses the generation, propagation, detection, and application of coherent electromagnetic radiation having wavelengths below one millimeter (i.e., in the submillimeter, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, etc., regions). Whether the focus of a manuscript is a quantum-electronic device or phenomenon, the critical factor in the editorial review of a manuscript is the potential impact of the results presented on continuing research in the field or on advancing the technological base of quantum electronics.
