  • Abstract
    We built gain tilt compensator in silica on silicon using adiabatic mode multiplexer and y-branch based Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Process and design tolerant building blocks allow flexibility in achieving required response, either normally bright or tilted, and excellent optical performance.
