PHASAR-based PICs for WDM-applications

Wavelength multiplexers, demultiplexers and routers based on optical phased arrays play a key role in multi-wavelength telecommunication links and networks. Photonic integration of PHASARS with active components will provide the functionality required in tomorrows multi-wavelength network

InP-based photonic ICs

Generic InP-based foundry processes lead to a large reduction in entry costs and bring photonic ICs within reach for many SMEs and larger companies

A bounded-error approach to accuracy analysis in ellipsometry

A nonlinear bounded-error estimation method is applied to the case of ellipsometric measurement of film properties. It is shown that this method can be used with advantage for estimating the magnitude of the measurement errors including systematic error

WDM devices in InP/InGaAsP

This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of monolithic integration on InP of components for wavelength multiplexed networks. Key components such as multiwavelength lasers and wavelength demultiplexers are reviewed in terms of their performance and ease of fabrication. In addition, the crucial issue of the wavelength precision of these devices is addresse
