Cascaded silicon micro-ring modulators for WDM optical interconnection.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We experimentally demonstrate cascaded silicon micro-ring modulators as the key component of a WDM interconnection system. We show clean eye-diagrams when each of the four micro-ring modulators is modulated at 4 Gbit/s. We show that optical inter-channel crosstalk is negligible with 1.3-nm channel spacing.

Automated Thermal Stabilization of Cascaded Silicon Photonic Ring Resonators for Reconfigurable WDM Applications
We describe a universal FPGA-based feedback algorithm for thermal stabilization of cascaded silicon photonic micro-ring resonators based subsystem-on-chip. Scalability is demonstrated through the successful simultaneous optimization of 10Gb/s/λ WDM uni/multicast data. Introduction Silicon photonic (SiP) technology has recently been adapted by industry on scales ranging from basic devices to hig...
متن کاملAnalytical Study of Optical Bi-Stability of a Single-Bus Resonator Based on InGaAs Micro-Ring Array
In this paper, for the first time to our knowledge, we investigate the optical bi-stability in a compact parallel array of micro- ring resonators with 5μm radius, induced by optical nonlinearity. Due to the nature of perfect light confinement, resonance and accumulation process in a ring resonator, optical nonlinear effects, even at small optical power of a few milliwatts in this structure are ...
متن کاملUltra high bandwidth WDM using silicon microring modulators.
We report 50 Gbit/s modulation capability using four silicon micro ring modulators within a footprint of 500 microm(2). This is the highest total modulation capability shown in silicon using compact micro-ring modulators. Using the proposed techniques, silicon nanophotonic bandwidths can meet the requirements of future CMOS interconnects by using multiple wavelengths to extend beyond single dev...
متن کاملSilicon microring resonators with 1.5-μm radius
We demonstrate a junction between a silicon strip waveguide and an ultra-compact silicon microring resonator that minimizes spurious light scattering and increases the critical dimensions of the geometry. We show cascaded silicon microring resonators with radii around 1.5 μm and effective mode volumes around 1.0 μm that are critically coupled to a waveguide with coupled Q’s up to 9,000. The rad...
