Increased sensitivity through maximizing the extinction ratio of SOI delay-interferometer receiver for 10G DPSK.
We present an optimized design for a 10G- differential-phase-shift-keyed (DPSK) receiver based on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) unbalanced tunable Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) switch in sequence with a Mach-Zehnder delay interferometer (MZDI). The proposed design eliminates the limitation in sensitivity of the device produced by the waveguide propagation losses in the delay line. A 2.3 dB i...

متن کاملUltrafast all-optical wavelength conversion in Silicon- on-Insulator waveguides by means of Cross Phase
In this paper we report the ultrafast all-optical wavelength conversion in Silicon-onInsulator (SOI) waveguides. We used a pump-probe setup with 300 femtosecond pulses to demonstrate large temporal phase-shifts, caused by the Kerr effect and free carrier generation. Large wavelength shifts of a 1683nm probe signal have been observed. The wavelength conversion, ranging from 10nm redshifts to 15n...
متن کاملA polarization-diversity wavelength duplexer circuit in silicon-on-insulator photonic wires.
We present a wavelength duplexer based on a compact arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) in silicon-on-insulator photonic wire waveguides. Polarization insensitive operation is achieved through a special polarization diversity approach in which we use 2-D grating fiber couplers as integrated polarization splitters. To mitigate the effects of process variations, we propagated both polarizations in op...

A high-sensitivity Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) biochemical sensing platform based on Silicon-in-insulator (SOI) rib waveguide with large cross section is proposed in this paper. Based on the analyses of the evanescent field intensity, the mode polarization and cross section dimensions of the SOI rib waveguide are optimized through finite difference method (FDM) simulation. To realize high...
