Abstract :
A monolithically-integrated design and fabrication of a silicon-on-insulator filter is described. The filter uses a combination of a cascaded Mach-Zehnder structure and a planar reflective grating to multiplex 1310 nm channel and demultiplex 1490 and 1550 nm channels for applications in passive optical networks
