Abstract :
The first monolithically integrated attenuated counter-propagating optical phase-locked loop based coherent receiver is presented. A spurious-free dynamic range of 131.3 dB Hz2/3 is measured in the detector shot-noise limit at 100 MHz, which is the highest reported for a single-chip device.
