32 Phase X 32 amplitude optical arbitrary waveform generation

Investigation of all-optical analog-to-digital quantization using a chalcogenide waveguide: A step towards on-chip analog-to-digital conversion

We have investigated all-optical analog-to-digital quantization by broadening the pulse spectrum in a chalcogenide (As₂S₃) waveguide and subsequently slicing the measured spectrum using an array of filters. Pulse spectral broadening was measured for 8 different power levels in a 6 cm long As₂S₃ waveguide and used to analyze an 8-level all-optical quantization scheme employing filters with full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) bandwidth of 2 nm. A supercontinuum spectrum with −15 dB spectral width up to 324 nm was observed experimentally at large powers. This large spectral broadening, combined with filtering using a 128 channel arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) with 2 nm filter spacing, has the potential for all-optical quantization with 7-bit resolution. In order to encode the quantized signal we propose an encoder scheme which can be implemented using optical Exclusive-OR gates. Demonstrating all-optical quantization using a planar waveguide is an important step towards realizing all-optical A/D conversion on a chip.     

Ultrafast optical frequency comb synthesizer and analyzer

We propose an ultrafast optical arbitrary waveform synthesizing/analyzing technique demonstrated with 2 Tbit/s waveforms. An ultrafast waveform was generated by manipulating the amplitude and phase of a 400?GHz optical frequency comb using a newly developed colorless optical synthesizer. The 400?GHz optical frequency comb was generated from a 25?GHz optical frequency comb using a colorless arrayed waveguide grating. This waveform was then analyzed on the frequency axis using a custom heterodyne-detection technique based on the dual-heterodyne mixing method. The phase and amplitude spectra can be observed in parallel using another optical frequency comb as a reference combined with an arrayed waveguide grating. This optical system, named the ultrafast optical frequency comb synthesizer and analyzer, can synthesize and analyze an arbitrary waveform in the THz frequency region.     

A Silicon-Based Arrayed Waveguide Grating Operating in Two Communication Channels

Abstract

This article proposes a silicon-based arrayed waveguide grating operating in two wavelength bands simultaneously with central wavelengths of 1,550.12 nm and 1,310.12 nm. If input light to an arrayed waveguide grating consists of wavelengths around 1,550.12 nm, the proposed system will act as a four-channel demultiplexer with channel spacing of 0.8 nm. On the other hand, when input wavelengths are distributed around 1,310.12 nm, the same arrayed waveguide grating will divide the input to seven channels with channel spacing of 0.33 nm.     

Millimeter-wave pulse generation based on pulse reshaping using superstructure fiber Bragg grating

A novel optical approach is proposed to generate millimeter wave (MMW) pulse signal based on the pulse reshaping of superstructure fiber Bragg grating (SSFBG). In our scheme, one input pico-second Gaussian pulse is transformed into n Gaussian pulses by the SSFBG reshaping firstly, and then the pulse train is replicated to form a required frequency modulation MMW optical pulse envelope by the linear chirped fiber Bragg grating (LCFBG) or other highly dispersive element. The high-speed photodetector (PD) and band-pass filter can transform the MMW optical pulse into an MMW pulse signal ultimately. Depending on this scheme, MMW signals with frequency up to 10 GHz can be easily generated by the completed fiber components.     

InP阵列波导光栅的误差分析

在InP阵列波导光栅的制作过程中会引入不同的误差,从而影响器件的性能.为了最大限度地控制误差,提高半导体器件性能,本文采用传输函数法对InP基阵列波导光栅的系统误差和随机误差分别进行了分析.从系统误差的模拟结果中可以得到如下结论:深脊型波导的有效折射率n_c平均每偏移+0.000 1,中心波长偏移+0.05nm.相邻阵列波导长度差ΔL每偏移+0.01 μm,中心波长将偏移+0.44 nm.n_c和ΔL仅仅会影响到传输谱中心通道及其他各通道对应的波长,使得传输谱发生整体漂移,而信道间隔及串扰不会改变.罗兰圆半径R偏移不会影响器件的中心通道对应的波长,但会使其它通道对应的波长发生变化,最终使得信道间隔改变,R增加50 μm,信道间隔减小0.03 nm.从随机误差模拟结果中,得出:波导芯区折射率、上包层折射率、衬底折射率、波导宽度和波导芯层厚度的随机波动会对阵列波导光栅的串扰产生较大的影响.根据以上分析,可以通过控制不同参量来调节器件的中心波长以及信道间隔等来优化阵列波导光栅的光学性能.
