In this paper, we present recent research on silicon nanowires for ultra-fast and ultra-broadband optical signal processing at DTU Fotonik. The advantages and limitations of using silicon nanowires for optical signal processing are revealed through experimental demonstrations of various optical signal processing.
We experimentally demonstrate self-phase modulation based all-optical regeneration of a 40 Gbit/s serial data signal in a silicon nanowire. Bit error rate characterization shows 2 dB receiver power improvement.
All-optical 2R regeneration of a 160-Gbit/s RZ-OOK signal is demonstrated in a fiber optical parametric amplifier using a highly nonlinear fiber with the data as pump. Bit error rate bathtub curves validate the regeneration performance.
We describe recent demonstrations of exploiting highly nonlinear silicon waveguides for ultrafast optical signal processing. We describe wavelength conversion and serial-to-parallel conversion of 640 Gbit/s data signals and 1.28 Tbit/s demultiplexing and all-optical sampling.
All-optical wavelength conversion of a 320 Gb/s line-rate RZ-OOK signal is demonstrated based on four-wave mixing in a 3.6 mm long silicon nanowire. Bit error rate measurements validate the performance within FEC limits.
We describe recent demonstrations of exploiting highly nonlinear silicon nanowires for processing Tbit/s optical data signals. We perform demultiplexing and optical waveform sampling of 1.28 Tbit/s and wavelength conversion of 640 Gbit/s data signals.
We report on all-optical wavelength conversion of 160, 320 and 640 Gbit/s line-rate data signals using four-wave mixing in a 3.6 mm long silicon waveguide. Bit error rate measurements validate the performance within FEC limits.
All-optical wavelength conversion for a 320 Gb/s RZ-DPSK signal is demonstrated based on four wave mixing in a silicon nanowire. BER better than 10-9 is achieved for the wavelength converted RZ-DPSK signal.
We demonstrate conversion from 64×10 Gbit/s OTDM to 25 GHz DWDM by time-domain optical Fourier transformation. Using a single silicon nanowire, 40 of 64 OTDM tributaries are simultaneously converted to DWDM channels within FEC limits.
