Abstract:	A combined planar lossless optical amplifier and 1x2 power splitter device has been realized in Al2O3:Er3+ on silicon. Net internal gain was measured over a wavelength range of 40 nm across the complete telecom -band (1525–1565 nm). Calculations predict net gain in a combined amplifier and 1x4 power splitter device over the same wavelength range for a total injected pump power as low as 30 mW.
