Abstract:
Described are various configurations for an amplifying optical demultiplexer. Various embodiments can receive an input signal comprising multiple sub-signals, and separate and amplify the signals within the demultiplexer. Some embodiments include a multistage demultiplexer with amplifiers located between a first and second stage. Some embodiments include a multistage demultiplexer with amplifiers located between a second and third stage.

Claim (Index 15):
An optical device for processing optical signal, the optical device comprising:\n a multistage semiconductor demultiplexer to receive an input signal having multiple optical signals, the multistage semiconductor demultiplexer comprising: an MZI filter in an initial stage to separate the multiple optical signals; semiconductor optical amplifiers, integrated within the multistage semiconductor demultiplexer, to generate amplified optical signals by amplifying the multiple optical signals that are separated by the MZI filter; and additional MZI filters in an additional stage to generate filtered optical signals by filtering the amplified optical signals, the semiconductor optical amplifiers being integrated in the multistage semiconductor demultiplexer between the MZI filter in the initial stage and the additional MZI filters in the additional stage.
