摘要 |
<p>In accordance with the present invention, an integrated, optical loss-compensating module is provided. The module includes a substrate (208) for supporting a planar lightguide circuit “PLC” (210) and a dispersion compensating element “TDC” formed on a first part of the substrate. A PLC active waveguide is formed on a second part of the substrate for imparting gain to the optical signal. The active waveguide has a first port optically coupled to the dispersion compensating element through which the optical signal is communicated between the dispersion compensating element “TDC” and the active waveguide.</p> |
