Phase controlled integrated interferometric single-sideband filter based on planar Bragg gratings implementing photonic Hilbert transform

The first monolithically integrated all-optical single-sideband filter based on photonic Hilbert transform and planar Bragg gratings is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Single-sideband suppression of 12 dB at 6 GHz and sideband switching are achieved via thermal tuning. An X-coupler, photon...

520 |a The first monolithically integrated all-optical single-sideband filter based on photonic Hilbert transform and planar Bragg gratings is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Single-sideband suppression of 12 dB at 6 GHz and sideband switching are achieved via thermal tuning. An X-coupler, photonic Hilbert transformer, flat top reflector and a micro heater are incorporated in a single silicon-on-silica substrate. The device can be thermally tuned by the micro heater on top of the channel waveguide. The device is fabricated using a combination of direct UV grating writing technology and photolithography.
