2 Executive Summary The scope of this program is to develop and demonstrate chip-scale integrated wavelength conversion and routing functions on a common substrate. The wavelength converters and routers developed will be photonic integrated circuits on InP substrates. The wavelength converters and routers will be compatible with both analog and digital transmission requirements. Issues involved in integration will be studied. Three classes of device will be investigated.

6 1.2. Task I: All Optical Tunable Wavelength Converter Single-Stage Integrated Widely Tunable Sampled-Grating DBR Tunable Laser and SOA Based Mach Zehnder Wavelength Converter We have successfully fabricated the first batch of fully operational tunable wavelength converters and conducted digital performance characterization and preliminary analog testing. Comprehensive characterization was conducted on two device types: S-bend Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI-AOWC) and MMI-MZI-AOWC. The main difference in performance between these two device types was higher output power of the MZI-AOWC device (up to 5dBm). The tunable AOWC chip, wire-bonded on a sub-mount, is shown in Figure 1. The lasers and devices fabricated currently operate in the L-band region, with 50 nm input and 22 nm output tuning range (Figure 2). The next generation device currently in fabrication will operate in the C- band. The maximum device power coupled in fiber is 5dBm and is limited by absorption losses of the waveguide (1.435Q), grating depth in the mirrors, length of device passive sections, coupling loss. The gain of the active region is additionally influenced by thermal crosstalk between the active region of the laser and the input semiconductor optical amplifier SOA. Figure 1. The first generation of the integrated sampled grating DBR laser and a MZI wavelength converter soldered and wire bonded on a sub-mount Static and dynamic testing has been conducted. Due to relatively low SGDBR output power, the SOAs of the MZI are not operating in saturation for large bias currents which reduces the attainable electrical and optical extinction due to large cross gain modulation effects. Therefore, the static extinction varies between 28 and 10 db, depending of the SOA bias points (Figure 2). Page 6
7 Figure 2. AOWC tuning range and Mach-Zehnder electrical control extinction map Digital and Analog Performance Measurements Dynamic digital operation at 2.5 Gbps was demonstrated and is summarized in Figure 3. Wavelength conversion was error free over 50nm of input signal range and 22nm of output signal conversion range. Figure 3a shows wavelength conversion from several wavelengths in this range onto one fixed SGDBR. The eyes are clearly open, and reduction in extinction is noticed as we move towards the edge of the gain spectrum of the SOA (1585nm). On the lower side, we were limited by the available C-band filters, so we believe that the actual input signal wavelength span could be as high as 60nm. Figure 3b shown eye diagrams for wavelength conversion from one fixed input wavelength onto several different SGDBR wavelengths (22nm range). Carrier dynamics in the SOA of the MZI limits the current speed of operation to 5 GB/s. Figure 3. Eye diagrams at 2.5GB/s - a) Fixed SGDBR wavelength - b) Fixed input wavelength During this quarter, we have completed digital characterization of the first version of integrated WC devices. Overlapped spectra showing 22 nm tuning range and a typical electrical transfer curve are shown in Figure 4a and Figure 4b respectively. Figure 4c represents BER results for wavelength conversion from 4 different input wavelengths to a known output wavelength. Figure 5 shows BER results for the case of various output wavelengths and one fixed input wavelength. Overall, for both cases, 1.6dB maximum power penalty was measured for 50nm in and 22 nm out wavelength conversion range. Page 7
8 Figure 4. Spectra and BER results for different input wavelengths Figure 5. BER results for various output wavelengths and MZI input power vs. SGDBR wavelength To characterize the SFDR, two RF tones at 1.00GHz and GHz were combined and used to directly modulate an Agility EML. The output power of the Agility laser was 10mW. The signal was then wavelength converted, detected, and the resulting signal and 3 rd order IMD terms measured using an electrical spectrum analyzer. The particular device used in these characterizations had 4dBm output power. A typical plot of the SFDR is shown in Figure 6 for conversion from 1561nm to 1550nm. Similar SFDR measurements were taken over a range of RF tone spacing to characterize f dependence. As seen in the Figure 6, the SFDR remained >85dB. The SFDR can be improved by using a low-noise receiver. Current measurements were limited by a noise floor of -130dBm. Future characterization includes measuring SFDR vs. wavelength, SOA bias, and input optical power. Page 8
9 Figure 6. Measured SFDR and its frequency dependence. RIN characterization of the device was also performed, using a HP 71401C lightwave signal analyzer. Measurements were performed as a function of input wavelength. As seen in Figure 7, the RIN values obtained were between -130 and -140dB/Hz. We believe the RIN value is currently limited by SGDBR output power. This has a two-fold effect on reducing RIN. First, laser RIN is inversely proportional to the laser output power. Secondly, driving the SOAs into saturation will reduce the amount of ASE seen at the output as laser RIN. Figure 7. RIN measurements of single stage tunable AOWC. Transmission performance of the WC was evaluated by sending data over a 600km loop through BOSSNET. Data from the Agility laser was converted and sent over the network. A BER of 10-9 was achieved in this experiment. A network testbed demonstration was also made with the wavelength converter mid-span between two 600km loops through BOSSNET. The diagrams below (Figure 8 and Figure 9) show the principle of operation and the system layout. 2.5 Gb/s data was sent using the Agility EML over a 600km loop through BOSSNET at 1560nm. The data was then converted to 1550nm and sent over the same 600km loop before being tapped and detected. Eye diagrams at each stage are shown below, which exhibit the added noise through the network and partial signal regeneration by the WC. End-to-end performance is Page 9
10 limited by the achievable extinction ratio of the WC, and should see improvement in the next generation of devices. Figure 8. Schematic of WC over BOSSNET.

Experimental setup for digital performance characterization of AOWC on BOSSNET Next Generation AOWC A new, low-loss epitaxial structure was designed in collaboration with our subcontractor Agility communications. We have also redesigned the wavelength converter in order to improve its performance and are currently working on a new mask set. Our goals are to fabricate the new set of improved devices, with lower loss waveguides, improved laser mirror design, higher electrical and optical extinction for high SOA current densities, and lower carrier lifetimes for higher speed operation.
11 Some of the major limitations in performance of the first generation of devices are a consequence of relative low input power into the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, and the need to control the phase of the light by changing the bias currents of the SOAs in the branches of the interferometer. The generation 2 device (Gen-2) shown in Figure 10 removes these constraints on operation of the wavelength converter. Figure 10. Generation 2 device layout and Mask layout - Gen-2 AOWC devices There are several key changes to the design that have been implemented in the Gen-2 device including 1) Independent phase electrodes in the branches of the MZI 2) Longer SOAs in the MZI 3) Dual output waveguide with signal monitoring capability 4) Output SOAs after the SGDBR laser 5) Differential input waveguides The ability to control the phase in the interferometer independently (1) and longer SOAs (2) will lead to higher extinction since the arms of the interferometer will be balanced. Ultimately, this will lead to higher output power of the device. This will also be affected by the lower loss waveguide that we are using to fabricate the new set of devices. The output SOAs after the SGDBR laser (4) will help increase the level of saturation of the SOAs in the MZI, which will help decrease the carrier lifetime to some extent, and also further reduce the RIN and improve the SFDR of the device. Introduction of the dual output waveguides (3) at the end of the interferometer will allow for light evacuation from the chip at all times, plus it will provide us with an option to do electrical signal monitoring without sacrificing the device performance. Finally, having two functional input waveguides and SOAs will provide for redundancy and also enable additional device characterization by using a differential excitation to the interferometer, such as RZ wavelength conversion. The Gen-2 device mask has been designed (Figure 10) and is currently being fabricated. Our expectations are that we will have the first samples fabricated in July 2003 in time to be measured for the July CS-WDM review. Page 11
12 Novel Photocurrent-Assisted EAM Wavelength Converter with Optical Monitoring We have successfully demonstrated a novel Photocurrent-Assisted Wavelength Conversion (PAWC) with electrical monitoring capability using a traveling-wave electroabsorption modulator (TW-EAM). We believe this approach may be a good choice for the first stage of the 2-stage AOWC for Phase II of this project (to be integrated with the tunable SOA-MZI) in that it has potentially lower power dissipation, low polarization sensitivity and signal monitoring functions. As shown in Figure 11, the PAWC utilizes the photocurrent generated by the pump signal at λ 1 to change the absorption of the CW probe at λ 2 in the latter part of the active waveguide. This photocurrent signal goes through the TW-EAM and then is processed further by outside electronics that provide electrical monitoring capability. This work differs from other reported works using EAM as a wavelength converter in that the PAWC dose not require saturation of the device and hence can potentially reduce the required pump power and avoid the speed limitation caused by internal electric field screening due to strong excitation in the quantum wells. Figure 11. Schematic drawing of PAWC using a TW-EAM A 2.5Gb/s NRZ wavelength conversion experiment was carried out. The pump signal is at nm with 13 dbm average power and the CW probe signal is at nm with 1 dbm average power. Two kinds of termination, open and 50 Ohm are used to show that microwave properties do play an critical role in PAWC, which is not expected if the conversion is caused solely by saturation. The eye diagrams are shown in Figure 12. Figure 12. Electrical and optical eye diagrams of new EAM based AOWC Page 12
13 BER measurements (Figure 13) were carried out for the converted optical signal and the detected electrical signal. The optical power penalty for the open termination is 0.5 db and 1.5 db for the 50 Ohm termination. The difference is mainly caused by the extinction ratio of the optical eyes. The extinction ratio measured from the optical eye on the scope is 10.9 db and 7.5 db for the open termination and the 50 Ohm termination, which also indicates that saturation also contributes about 4~5dB to the extinction ratio. BER for the electrical signal are too low to be measured at normal operating power level at this time. Figure 13. (a) (b) Bit-error-rate curves. (a) Optical; (b) Electrical; Square: 1545 nm back-to-back; triangle: open termination; circle: 50 Ohm termination Task II: Filter/Mux/Router This sub-area addresses the process compatible design and fabrication of optical filters and TIR mirrors and waveguides for the AWOC chip-scale project. The results of this research will be used in the AOWC in Phase II of this project TIR and Disc Micro-resonator Filters Compatible with InP Planar Integration Platform A new TIR based design for the filter was reported in the last quarter. This quarter we have completed the required growth and basic fabrication and have started testing of the optical filters and TIR mirrors. The TIR based filter structures shown in Figure 14 are at the stage of premetallization fabrication. The process was designed to be compatible with the AOWC planar platform. The MOCVD grown base wafer has active quantum wells (QW) for optical gain everywhere. In order to define passive waveguides on the chip, the active part containing QWs is etched away. To achieve this, areas where the QW s needed are protected using a PR mask, and selective wet etching is used to etch the QW s elsewhere. A 2 µm thick p-inp and a thin p- InGaAs cap layers are grown on top of the patterned wafer. In the optical microscope pictures shown in Figure 14 the active QW areas appear as small rectangles under the waveguide arms of the micro-resonator cavity. These are the areas containing QW active material. After the regrowth, the waveguide and micro-resonator patterns are defined using a SiN mask and the chip is dry-etched for the appropriate amount to form single mode waveguides. Figure 14a shows the picture of the device after this step. Next, a SiO 2 lift-off mask is used to define small openings at Page 13
14 the position of the mirrors while keeping the SiN mask for self-alignment of the mirrors and the waveguides. These areas then further etched using the same dry-etch recipe to form the mirrors. The picture on Figure 14b shows the device after this step.

Figure 15 shows examples of both ring based and TIR mirror based device structures on the chip after the deep-etching step. On the micro-disc and micro-ring devices a deep etch is used to etch the whole circumference of the resonators to enhance optical confinement. We are currently in the process of measuring the optical filtering characteristics of the devices in Figure 14 and Figure 15 and plan to have these results for the July 2003 PI meeting. a b c Figure 15.

15 Low Loss TIR Mirrors and Waveguides for InP Planar Integration Platform In this work we investigate techniques to increase the density of PIC circuits in our InP integration platform in order to reduce the area of chip-scale AOWCs, filters and mux/demuxes. Our approach is to fabricate large angle bending by total internal reflective (TIR) mirrors. This approach has the potential to be low cost. We focus on a compatible process that can be integrated with our existing InGaAs/InP Chip-scale WDM devices. Figure 16 illustrates the basic TIR mirror structure that we have demonstrated and are establishing a platform compatible process for. Normally, a waveguide with a large angle bending will be optically lossy. However, if a smooth mirror intercepts at the corner of the two waveguides, light traveling in the incoming waveguide is going to be totally internal reflected to the outgoing waveguide because of the high refractive index change at the air/semiconductor interface. Low loss TIR mirrors depend on high quality mirrors so the challenge in this work is twofold (i) to produce low loss TIR mirrors and (ii) make the process compatible with the AOWC chip scale circuit so that these mirrors may be employed for certain functions. Our current goal is for 0.5dB loss per mirror. Figure 16. TIR mirror with standard process InP waveguides for dense chip-scale integration. Our first approach to fabricate the TIR mirror uses a Focus Ion Beam (FIB) etching technique. Our FEI FIB provides nanometer-scale resolution with gallium Liquid Metal Ion Source (LMIS). A focused ion beam creates unique imaging mechanisms unavailable with electron beams. The electro-optics ensures controlled high current density beam profiles for precise ion milling and deposition while maintaining high-resolution imaging capabilities. Compared to conventional dry etching, FIB etching does not require a lithographic mask and the beam can be positioned to the part to be etched and to modify the device structure on the screen in real time yielding a what you see is what you get etch process. The FIB can be used to etch structures from scratch in InP or to clean up a mirror after standard lithographic processing. The FIB process flow for TIR mirrors is shown in Figure 17. Page 15

The SEM pictures in Figure 18 were taken before and after FIB etching. By adjusting the parameters such as beam current, beam dwell time, beam overlap, smooth TIR mirror can be achieved. The FIB etching technique still needs to be improved. To obtain a smooth etched sidewall, the beam current needs to be very low. However, a low beam current leads to slow etch rate, which limits the throughput to ion-milling the micron-sized mirrors. Also, we find that the etching residue re-deposition could be observed under ultra-high resolution, possibly Ga droplets deposition on the sidewall. There may be other issues like the ion damage to be characterized. (a) (b) Figure 18. InP TIR mirrors (a) before FIB processing, and (b) after FIB processing. We are currently optimizing the TIR fabrication by FIB and have started mirror loss testing. Initial results were achieved by etching rib loaded waveguides with the TIR mirrors and launching light into the waveguides and observing the waveguides at the output using a CCD camera. The very first results are encouraging and are shown in Figure 19. Page 16

Fabricated TIR and input and output waveguides Task III: OEOIC-WC Directly Modulated SGDBR Wavelength Converters In this quarter, the first generation directly modulated OEIC wavelength converters introduced in the last quarter has been characterized. The devices have been AR-coated, mounted and wire-bound to an AlN-carrier substrate for heat-sinking and proper RF monitor probing. Figure 20 shows the resulting optical AC gain performance. The gain peaks at about 10dB, and the bandwidth is above 3GHz at higher bias currents.

The spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of the device has also been characterized. The SFDR was measured at 0.5 GHz using two tones separated by 1 MHz. To reduce any intermixing components between the two tones at the input, the two tones were modulated to two separate optical sources, coupled together and tuned to a wavelength offset of 60GHz around 1555 nm, well above the detector bandwidth to avoid coherence effects. Figure 21 shows the measured Page 17
18 SFDR: 92.3dBHz 2/3, at 55mA bias to the gain section, while converting from 1555nm to 1545 nm. Figure 3 shows the SFDR-performance for different gain section bias currents. The wavelength tuning range of the SGDBR laser was compromised due to a defective mirror design. Nevertheless, 2.5 Gb/s wavelength conversion were conducted from 1547nm to an output wavelength of 1545nm, 1550nm, 1552nm, and 1560nm. In all cases, error-free conversion was obtained. Figure 22 shows the detected eye diagram at 1545nm. Signal monitoring was achieved by connecting the gain section to a 50Ω serial resistance and an RF coplanar line for RF probing. Error-free signal monitor at 2.5 Gb/s was obtained. Figure 23 shows the detected monitor eye diagram. Future plans include further characterization of the signal monitor performance.

Detected and filtered eye-diagram at 2.5 Gb/s for monitor signal taken over the directlymodulated SGDBR gain section. In summary, the first generation OEIC directly modulated embodiment provides about the expected level of performance for the quality of the devices fabricated. Simple improvements in contact resistance should result in the ability to significantly increase the preamplifier gain to provide more photocurrent and reduce overall insertion loss from the -10 db level observed to near zero net insertion loss. The SFDR and modulation bandwidth should also improve directly as the improvement in laser output which will result from the corrected mirror design as well as the improved contacts. The design of the first integrated externally modulated OEIC-WC has been completed and fabrication begun. Results from both Mach-Zehnder and EAM external modulators are expected within the next month. Simulations suggest that improved speed and SFDR should result Integrated External Modulator Wavelength Converters A first generation mask has been designed and is in house where wavelength conversion is achieved using the signal from a photodetector to drive an external integrated Electro absorption modulator (EAM). Processing is currently underway and should be completed within the next several weeks. In addition, a dual EAM scheme is being examined for increased linearity and better chirp performance, and a Mach Zehnder based device is under examination for low drive voltage, more efficient power handling capability, and chirp design.

Wafer Processing Subcontract (Agility Communications) Agility has continued to support this program in its role as a subcontractor supplying 1) base epitaxial structures, 2) MOCVD regrowth and 3) facet coating. Such services allow the UCSB program to take full advantage of Agility s high level of control on these critical growth and process steps. Figure 25 shows the historical summary and plan for base epitaxial structure deliveries. Deliveries are now proceeding regularly and on time.
