Abstract

Summary form only given. We have successfully fabricated a 24-channel WDM photoreceiver using a novel micro-mirror fabrication technique. Photodiode integration caused no observable degradation in the arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) optical bandwidth. The photoreceiver had a sufficiently wide bandwidth to operate at 2.5 Gb/s and 5 Gb/s. This mirror fabrication technique is extremely effective for extending the functions of PLC-based optical devices
