Real-time transmission of 14-GBd 4-PAM signal is demonstrated by combining a commercial 1.55-μm DML with a silicon MRR. BER below the HD-FEC threshold is measured after 26-km SSMF transmission without offline digital signal processing.
A hybrid III-V/SOI directly modulated DFB laser operating at 1.5 μο is fabricated, showing a side mode suppression ratio above 50 dB and a 3-dB bandwidth of 12 GHz. Error-free transmission (BER<10−9) at 10 Gb/s over 66-km SSMF is demonstrated without dispersion compensation and FEC.
We demonstrate phase-regeneration of phase unlocked OTDM-DPSK serial signals in a single phase sensitive amplifier through optical cross-phase modulation. The BER of an 8×10 Gbit/s OTDM-DPSK signal is improved by 2 orders of magnitude.
Simultaneous I and Q extraction for 16-QAM is experimentally demonstrated through field-quadrature decomposition using a polarization-assisted phase sensitive amplifier. The quadrature components are successfully received and performance is evaluated through bit-error-ratio testing.
Phase-sensitive four-wave mixing is experimentally demonstrated in a 5-mm long AlGaAsOI nano-waveguide. More than 7 dB of phase-sensitive extinction ratio are reported without neither using active biasing nor polarization-assisted schemes. Measurements show a good match with numerical predictions.
A single-transmitter/single-receiver THz link (0.3–0.5 THz) with a record net data rate of 260 Gbit/s is experimentally demonstrated. Spectrally efficient multi-channel signal transmission is enabled by a novel frequency-band-allocation scheme with pre-and-post-digital equalization.
We propose and demonstrate an algorithm that allows for automatic synchronization of SDN-controlled all-optical TDM switching nodes connected in a ring network. We experimentally show successful WDM-SDM transmission of data bursts between all ring nodes.
We propose a novel QPSK regenerator scheme based on phase sensitive amplification of a pre-conditioned signal avoiding active phase-locking. Signal pre-conditioning is demonstrated experimentally with error-free (BER < 10−9) performance for a 10-Gbaud QPSK signal.
Kerr nonlinearity compensation by optical phase conjugation is demonstrated in a WDM PDM 16-QAM system. Improved received signal quality is reported for both dispersion-compensated and dispersion-uncompensated transmission and a comparison with digital backpropagation is provided.
The deployment of phase-insensitive fiber-optic parametric amplifiers (PI-FOPAs) as inline amplifiers in long-haul WDM transmission systems is discussed, and it is outlined how to design PI-FOPAs to be a valuable upgrade option for this application.
Parametric optical signal processing is reviewed for silicon nano-rib-waveguides with a reverse-biased pin-junction. Phase-sensitive parametric amplification with a phase-sensitive extinction of more than 20 dB has been utilized for the regeneration of DPSK signals.
We experimentally demonstrate the demultiplexing of 8×13.4 Gbaud OFDM-QPSK subcarriers using a silicon nanophotonic-based discrete Fourier transform (DFT) filter. All eight subcarriers showed less than 1.5 dB OSNR penalty compared to the theoretical limit.
This paper presents an overview of recent work on the use of silicon waveguides for processing optical data signals. We will describe ultra-fast, ultra-broadband, polarisation-insensitive and phase-sensitive applications including processing of spectrally-efficient data formats and optical phase regeneration.
The performance of a polarization-independent fiber-based optical parametric amplifier is experimentally investigated in terms of amplification and wavelength conversion for optical phase conjugation applications using 5×28-GBd PDM 16-QAM signals. Good conjugated signal quality up to 13-dB gain is obtained.
Effective Kerr nonlinearity mitigation is experimentally demonstrated using optical phase conjugation in the middle of an 800-km dispersion-compensated link for a 5-channel WDM 28-GBd PDM 16-QAM signal. A Q-factor improvement of 0.9 dB over no mitigation allows a BER<3.8×10−3.
The use of silicon-on-insulator waveguides with free carriers removal using a reverse-biased p-i-n junction for parametric optical signal processing is reviewed. High efficiency wavelength conversion and phase-sensitive regeneration are reported.
We demonstrate enhancement of FWM wavelength conversion of a 40 Gbps signal in a reverse-biased p-i-n junction silicon waveguide. A conversion efficiency of −4.6 dB enables a conversion power penalty as low as 0.2 dB.
A micro-ring resonator transfer function is used to enhance the quality of signals generated using directly modulated VCSELs. The scheme is demonstrated up to 25 Gbit/s with a 17.6-GHz VCSEL, with up to 10 dB sensitivity improvement.
We demonstrate a novel polarization diversity DPSK demodulator on the SOI platform with low polarization dependent loss (1.6 dB) and low polarization dependent extinction ratio (<;3 dB). System experiments verify the low polarization dependency.
Phase-sensitive processes exploiting FWM in an HNLF allow simultaneously converting two orthogonal quadratures of an optical signal to different wavelengths. Conversion efficiencies to two 90°-phase-shifted idlers exceeding 10 dB of phase-sensitive extinction ratio are obtained experimentally.
