Abstract:
An optical WDM device on a substrate and a fabrication method are disclosed. The WDM device includes a broadband light source, multiple output optical receivers, and a silicon waveguide terminated with two end reflectors, and a number of sequentially arranged WDM splitters between the two end reflectors. Each of the WDM splitters has a front and rear reflectors. The first end reflector is broadband coated to input light into the waveguide. The front reflectors of the WDM splitters and the second end reflector are narrowband coated so each reflector only selects to reflect one of the wavelengths from the light source. The rear reflectors of the WDM splitters are anti-reflection coated in order to transmit the unselected light to the next stage WDM splitter. The first end reflector is aligned to the input source, the WDM splitters and the second end reflector each are sequentially aligned to the output receivers.

Claim (Index 6):
The optical WDM interconnect apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the input optical source is a broadband vertical cavity surface emission laser (VCSEL).
