Low Power Consumption DQPSK Demodulator Using Silica-Based Planar Lightwave Circuit

We demonstrate a low power consumption differential quadrature phase-shift keying (DQPSK) demodulator using silica-based planar lightwave circuit (PLC) technology. A reduction of the power consumption is achieved by suppressing the temperature dependence of the circuit characteristic and eliminating a thermo-electric cooler (TEC) device. The maximum power consumption of the fabricated demodulator with an operating temperature range of ${-}$5 $^{circ}$C to 70 $^{circ}$C is 1.4 W, which is 60% lower than that of a conventional PLC demodulator with TEC. We report experimental results that demonstrate its good demodulation performance for a 43-Gb/s DQPSK system.      

Integrated Wavelength-Insensitive Differential Laser Doppler Velocimeter Using Planar Lightwave Circuit

In this paper, a design of an integrated wavelength-insensitive laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV) has been proposed using planar lightwave circuit (PLC). The proposed LDV uses arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) that can be fabricated using PLC technology. Its characteristics are simulated using a design model based on grating equations for AWGs. The simulation results indicate that wavelength-insensitive operation can be almost obtained by optimizing the design parameters of the proposed structure without assembly of bulk diffractive gratings or other optical elements.

Circularly Polarized External Cavity Laser Hybrid Integrated With a Polyimide Quarter-Wave Plate on Planar Lightwave Circuit

We propose and demonstrate a circularly polarized external cavity laser (ECL) hybrid integrated on a planar lightwave circuit (PLC). The ECL is composed of a spot-size converter integrated laser diode, a UV-written grating, and a polyimide quarter-wave plate on the PLC using hybrid-integration technology. The polyimide quarter-wave plate of an 8.8-mum thickness was inserted in a trench with a 20-mum width and a 300-mum depth on the PLC platform, and fixed with a UV-curable adhesive. The ECL hybrid integrated with the polyimide wave plate becomes highly circular-polarized with a degree of circular polarization of 0.992. This circularly polarized ECL operated with a sidemode suppression ratio of >50 dB at ~1550 nm.

Analysis of Image Recovery Down Converter Made by Planar Circuit Mounted in a Waveguide

This paper presents an analysis of a superhigh frequency (SHF) down converter using a Schottky-barrier mixer diode and a planar circuit mounted in a waveguide. The analysis assumes that the mixer diode consists of a nonlinear conductance g, a junction capacitance C/sub j/, an ohmic spreading resistance R/sub s/, and several parasitic susceptances. The frequency performance of the impedance of external circuits at the signal, image, and intermediate frequency bands is considered. This analysis also includes consideration of the mismatching effect between the converter and the IF amplifier, and the optimum design procedure for the down converter. Using this theoretical method, a SHF down converter was designed and constructed. Its application is low noise receivers for satellite broadcasting. The design used the optimum image condition (the image impedance takes a low value, i.e., nearly a short). The RF band is 11.7 - 12.2 GHz, the IF band is 0.96 - 1.46 GHz, and the total noise figure is 3.3 - 3.7 dB. The noise figure is in good agreement with the (3.2 - 3.6 dB) obtained from this analysis.

Reconfigurable Optical Add‐Drop Multiplexer Using a Polymer Integrated Photonic Lightwave Circuit

We have developed a fully functional reconfigurable optical add‐drop multiplexer (ROADM) switch module using a polymer integrated photonic lightwave circuit technology. The polymer variable optical attenuator (VOA) array and digital optical switch array are integrated into one polymer PLC chip and packaged to form a 10‐channel VOA integrated optical switch module. Four of these optical switch modules are used in the ROADM switch module to execute 40‐channel switching and power equalization. As a wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) filter device, two C‐band 40‐channel athermal arrayed waveguide grating WDMs are used in the ROADM module. Optical power monitoring of each channel is carried out using a 5% tap PD. A controller and firmware having the functions of a 40‐channel switch and VOA control, optical power monitoring, as well as TEC temperature control, and data communication interfaces are also developed in this study.
