Optimising a Mach-Zehnder Modulation Characteristics for 10 Gb/s Lightwave Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports on theoretically investigated transmission performance depending on the chirping and extinction ratio for a 1550 nm, 10Gb/s transmissions system with the standard single mode fiber. The transmission performance can be improved by adjusting chirp and extinction ratio in a Ti:LiNbO3 modulator-based transmitter and erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA)-PIN receiver configuration.

We propose a novel scheme of differential phase shift keying (DPSK) in the optical frequency domain. We take advantage of the intrinsic coherence among spectral elements derived by spectrum slicing a femtosecond optical pulse, introducing differential phase modulation between adjacent spectral elements with a femtosecond-pulse shaper. Detection of the differential phase is achieved by a Mach–Ze...

A series-push-pull Mach–Zehnder modulator is integrated with a sampled-grating distributed Bragg reflector laser on a dual-quantum-well integration platform. The device exhibited greater than 7.8-dB extinction at 40 Gb/s with a 2.5-V drive voltage across a wavelength range of 1541–1566 nm. Bit-error-rate measurements at 10 Gb/s showed error-free operation and negative chirp.

We demonstrated all-optical demultiplexing of 160-Gb/s signal to 40and 80-Gb/s by a Mach-Zehnder Interferometric all-optical switch, where the picosecond cross-phase modulation (XPM) induced by intersubband excitation in InGaAs/AlAsSb coupled double quantum wells is utilized. A bi-directional pump configuration, i.e., two control pulses are injected from both sides of a waveguide chip simultane...

We present a dual traveling-wave electrode InP-based Mach-Zehnder (MZ) modulator with an n-i-n waveguide structure. An electrical input/output interface placed on one side of the chip helps us to drive the modulator in a push-pull configuration. This configuration provides the modulator with great advantages such as reduced driving voltage amplitude, chirp-free operation, and the ability to sup...
