Abstract

The integration of Er-doped optical amplifiers has been explored for several years with the goal of being able to compensate for splitting losses in passive components without the necessity of getting off the chip. However, previous results on Er-doped planar optical waveguide amplifiers (POWAs) have suffered from a limited gain spectrumi[1], large area coverage[2], and incompatibility with conventional waveguide fabrication technology[3]. Here we report on the performance of an Er-doped aluminosilicate POWA with a broad gain spectrum integrated with our standard Silicon Optical Bench (SiOB) waveguide technology[4].
