ABSTRACT:
An integrated optical device is provided comprising a waveguide body, a spectral combiner/divider, a primary input/output channel, and a set of displaced input/output channels. The waveguide body comprises an optical amplification medium configured to amplify different spectral components of a multi-component optical signal propagating there through.
