Abstract

We report on an integrated-optic spectrum synthesis circuit that can individually control amplitude and phase of 40 GHzspaced and 64 frequency components. This synthesis circuit is fabricated with silica waveguide technology, and is composed of two arrayed-waveguide gratings (AWGs), and an array of variable optical attenuators (VOAs) and phase shifters. The AWGs function as frequency multi/demultiplexers, and the VOA and phase shifter are used to adjust amplitude and phase of each spectral component, respectively. The size of the circuit is 80 mm x 80 mm, and the manipulation accuracy relating to the VOA and phase shifter is in the order of 0.1 dB and 0.01, respectively. The VOA extinction ratio, namely, the dynamic range is about 30 dB.
