Abstract
In this work, the most recent research and development activities to design a photonic integrated circuit for submarine optical repeaters are reported. These activities are under the scope of a Brazilian project and accomplish the photonic integrated circuit design, fabrication and packaging. The developed technology must have high-reliability in order to target submarine applications. Simulation and experimental results are also presented, to prove the concept of each component inside the integrated photonic circuit.
