Wavelength conversion of data at gigabit rates via nonlinear optics in an integrated micro- ring resonator
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the first system penalty measurements for all-optical wavelength conversion in an integrated ring resonator. We achieve wavelength conversion over a range of 27.7nm in the C-band at 2.5 Gb/s by exploiting four wave mixing in a CMOS compatible, high index glass ring resonator at ~22 dBm average pump power, obtaining < 0.3 dB system penalty.

Analytical 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-Low Power Parametric Frequency Conversion of High Data Rates on a Photonic Chip
Traditionally nonlinear optical processes in solid state devices such as amplification, switching and wavelength conversion require relatively high powers for operation, which limits the prospect of their miniaturization and integration on-chip [1]. Here we utilize four-wave mixing (FWM), a nonlinear process used in high bandwidth optical communications, to demonstrate ultra-low-power parametri...

The proposed sensor is composed of periodic Si rods embedded in an air host with a circular PCRR that is placed between the inline quasi waveguides. It i...
متن کاملCoupling effects in low-symmetry planar split-ring resonator arrays.
We introduce a particular low-symmetry (point group of unit cell C(1)) planar periodic arrangement of magnetic split-ring resonators that acts as an effective optical wave plate. We show that this behavior specifically results from the in-plane interactions among the individual split-ring resonators. Measured normal-incidence transmittance and conversion spectra of gold-based samples fabricated...
متن کاملImproving the Triple Coupled Ring-Resonator Performance as an Optical Filter
In this paper, a three ring-resonator serially coupled is considered as an optical filter. We are going to improve the performance of the designed optical filter by increasing the quality factor and finesse of filtered wavelengths. The first and last rings are coupled to the bus waveguides that carry the input and output fields. The effect of coupling parameters and ring radii on the filtering ...
