Multifunctional Integrated Photonic Switches for Nanosecond Packet-Switched Wavelength Conversion

We report multifunctional integrated photonic switches that provide optical wavelength conversion across the C-band at 3.5 Gb/s that is electrically packet-switched within a reconfiguration time of <2.5ns. These switches also provide optical packet-switching in <300ps. © 2005 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (250.3140) Integrated optoelectronic circuits; (060.2330) Fiber optics communicat...

A Stable Dual-wavelength Thulium-doped Fiber Laser at 1.9 μm Using Photonic Crystal Fiber

A stable dual-wavelength thulium-doped fiber laser operating at 1.9 μm using a short length of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) has been proposed and demonstrated. The photonics crystal fiber was 10 cm in length and effectively acted as a Mach-Zehnder interferometry element with a free spectral range of 0.2 nm. This dual-wavelength thulium-doped fiber laser operated steadily at room temperature wit...

Thin film wavelength converters for photonic integrated circuits

Quasi-phase-matched (QPM) wavelength converters are highly desirable for emerging nonlinear optics applications in photonic integrated circuits, but available waveguide and quasi-phase-matching technologies have so far constrained their realization. In this work, we present a periodically poled lithium niobate (LN) waveguide on a silicon nitride– thin film LN platform. It contains a submicromet...

Integrated photonic switches for nanosecond packet-switched optical wavelength conversion.

We present a multifunctional photonic switch that monolithically integrates an InGaAsP/InP quantum well electroabsorption modulator and an InGaAs photodiode as a part of an on-chip, InP optoelectronic circuit. The optical multifunctionality of the switch offers many configurations to allow for different optical network functions on a single chip. Here we experimentally demonstrate GHz-range opt...
