Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) simulation of the photonic components within an integrated optical-electrical-optical wavelength converter is presented. The converter design includes a 50 /spl mu/m long waveguide photodiode (WPD) which detects the incoming signal at any wavelength of the C band, e.g. at /spl lambda//sub in/ = 1530 nm. The optical signal is converted into an electrical signal that directly modulates a sampled-grating distributed Bragg-reflector (SGDBR) laser diode which is integrated with a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) for signal enhancement. The SGDBR laser can be tuned to emit at any wavelength of the C band, e.g., at /spl lambda//sub out/ = 1550 nm. The epitaxial structure of the different components is found to be similar. An offset multi-quantum-well (MQW) active region is grown on top of the waveguide region. A ridge waveguide structure is etched through the MQW region. Passive device sections are formed by etching off the MQWs completely.
