Abstract :
Summary form only given. We addressed the main challenges of integration of high refractive index Er-doped aluminosilicate waveguides with silicon optical bench technology. Performance of waveguide amplifiers integrated with pump/signal WDM will be presented, and issues related to their integration will be discussed.
