abstract

  • A monolithically integrated tunable heterodyne source designed for the generation and modulation of sub-terahertz signals is demonstrated. Distributed feedback lasers, semiconductor optical amplifier amplifiers, passive waveguides, beam combiners, electro-optic modulators, and high-speed photodetectors have been monolithically integrated on the same InP-based platform. Millimeter wave generation at up to 105 GHz based on heterodyning the optical tones from two integrated lasers in the integrated high bandwidth unitraveling-carrier photodetector has been demonstrated. This photonic integrated chip was used in a 100-Mb/s OOK wireless transmission experiment using the integrated amplitude modulator. © 1989-2012 IEEE.
