چکیده
A novel 1×4 reconfigurable optical splitter/combiner structure based on Opto-VLSI processor and 4-f imaging system with high resolution is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. By uploading optimized multicasting phase holograms onto the software-driven Opto-VLSI processor, an input optical signal is dynamically split into different output fiber ports with user-defined splitting ratios. Also, multiple input optical signals are dynamically combined with arbitrary user-defined weights.

All-Optical Reconfigurable-Tunable 1×N Power Splitter Using Soliton Breakup
In this paper, we numerically simulated a glass-based all-optical 1×N power splitter with eleven different configurations using soliton breakup in a nonlinear medium. It is shown that in addition to reconfigurability of the proposed splitter, its power splitting ratio is tunable up to some extent values too. Nonlinear semivectorial iterative finite difference beam propagation method (IFD-...
متن کاملImproving the Steering Efficiency of 1x4096 Opto-VLSI Processor Using Direct Power Measurement Method
We report optimization of the steering efficiency of the 1-D Opto-VLSI processor using direct power measurement method for wavelengths in the near-IR and 632 nm. Highest improvement observed for the signal and interport isolation is 8 dB and 12 dB respectively. This improved performance of the processor is crucial to the realization of low crosstalk reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers ...

متن کاملNovel broadband reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer employing custom fiber arrays and Opto-VLSI processors.
A reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) structure based on using a custom-made fiber array and an Opto-VLSI processor is proposed and demonstrated. The fiber array consists of N pairs of angled fibers corresponding to N channels, each of which can independently perform add, drop, and thru functions through a reconfigurable Opto-VLSI beam steerer. Experimental results show that the...
