Crosstalk suppression in an all-optical symmetric Mach-Zehnder (SMZ) switch by using control pulses with unequal powers
Suppression of residual crosstalk is desired in switching a data channel from a multiple-channel frame in optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) network. Using the symmetric MachZehnder (SMZ) switch, it is a possible to obtain the desired data channel with relatively low residual crosstalk induced by the adjacent channels. In this paper we propose a simple and effective method to further sup...
متن کاملAll-optical switching using nonlinear subwavelength Mach-Zehnder on silicon.
We report on the experimental demonstration of ultrafast all-optical switching and wavelength down-conversion based on a novel nonlinear Mach-Zehnder interferometer with subwavelength grating and wire waveguides. Unlike other periodic waveguides such as line-defects in a 2D photonic crystal lattice, a subwavelength grating waveguide confines the light as a conventional index-guided structure an...
متن کاملMach - Zehnder interferometer based all optical flip - flop
For the first time an all optical flip-flop is demonstrated based on two coupled Mach-Zehnder interferometers which contain semiconductor optical amplifiers in their arms. The flip-flop operation is discussed and it is demonstrated using commercially available fiber pigtailed devices. Being based on Mach-Zehnder interferometers, the flip-flop has potential for very high speed operation. E-mail:...
متن کاملAdiabatic thermo-optic Mach-Zehnder switch.
In this Letter, we propose and demonstrate a high-speed and power-efficient thermo-optic switch using an adiabatic bend with a directly integrated silicon heater to minimize the heat capacity and therein maximize the performance of the thermo-optic switch. A rapid, τ=2.4 μs thermal time constant and a low electrical power consumption of P(π)=12.7 mW/π-phase shift were demonstrated representing ...
متن کاملfive-port optical router design based on mach–zehnder switches for photonic networks-on-chip
we design and simulate a five-port optical router, which is composed of twenty mach-zehnder-based switching elements and twelve waveguide crossings for use in integrated photonic interconnection networks. we simulated and analyzed the operation of the proposed optical router from the aspects of insertion loss, power budget, q-factor and the minimum bit error ratio by use of optisystem simulator...
