چکیده
Utilizing all-optical parametric processing in a silicon photonic chip, we demonstrate wavelength conversion for 10 and 40-Gb/s NRZ as well as 160-Gb/s pulsed-RZ data signals, and demonstrate eight-way wavelength multicasting at 40-Gb/s NRZ data rates. ©2009 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (130.7405) Wavelength conversion devices; (190.4380) Nonlinear optics, four-wave mixing

Due to the increasing growth of processing cores in complex computational systems, all the connection converted bottleneck for all systems. With the protection of progressing and constructing complex photonic connection on chip, optical data transmission is the best choice for replacing with electrical interconnection for the reason of gathering connection with a high bandwidth and insertion lo...
متن کاملGain and noise characteristics of high-bit-rate silicon parametric amplifiers.
We report a numerical investigation on parametric amplification of high-bit-rate signals and related noise figure inside silicon waveguides in the presence of two-photon absorption (TPA), TPA-induced free-carrier absorption, free-carrier-induced dispersion and linear loss. Different pump parameters are considered to achieve net gain and low noise figure. We show that the net gain can only be ac...
متن کاملGuest Editors’ Introduction: Silicon Nanophotonics for Future Multicore Architectures
h IT IS OUR pleasure to introduce this Special Issue on Silicon Nanophotonics for Future Multicore Architectures. The need for high-performance and energy-efficient communication between processing cores has never been more critical. The increase in core counts in emerging chip multiprocessors (CMPs) has put more pressure on the communication fabric to support many more streams of high bandwidt...
متن کاملPosition-sensitive spectral splitting with a plasmonic nanowire on silicon chip
On-chip nanophotonics serves as the foundation for the new generation of information technology, but it is challenged by the diffraction limit of light. With the capabilities of confining light into (deep) subwavelength volumes, plasmonics makes it possible to dramatically miniaturize optical devices so as to integrate them into silicon chips. Here we demonstrate that by cascading nano-corrugat...
متن کاملNon-Blocking Routers Design Based on West First Routing Algorithm & MZI Switches for Photonic NoC
For the first time, the 4- and 5-port optical routers are designed by using the West First routing algorithm for use in optical network on chip. The use of the WF algorithm has made the designed routers to provide non-blocking routing in photonic network on chip. These routers not only are based on high speed Mach-Zehnder switches(Which have a higher bandwidth and more thermal tolerance than mi...
