Abstract
Optical amplification with EDFAs has opened up new ways for high speed data communication. This stimulated research activities for planar rare earth doped waveguides. Complete active devices as loss-compensated 1:8 splitters can be developed on silicon substrates, when optical amplification is combined with integrated optical waveguide components, fiber alignment structures, and hybrid pump laser mounting.
