Design of integrated photonic transmitter for application in fiber-to-the-home systems

In this paper we investigate options for monolithically integrated multiwavelength transmitters in indium phosphidebased materials. In particular, we focus on transmitters that use arrayed waveguide gratings as wavelength selective elements. The multiwavelength lasers that simultaneously emit on different wavelength channels are crucial in Fiber-tothe- Home systems because they increase the bandwidth and the transmission capacity of such optical networks
