Continued demand for higher bandwidth in data networks along with an industry need for standardized network components has driven the need for 10 Gb/s optical transceivers into the long haul, metro core, and enterprise/storage environments. In response to this demand, the functionality and performance of these modules have increased significantly, while the size, cost, and power consumption hav...

Heterogeneous III-V-on-silicon photonic integration has proved to be an attractive and volume manufacturable solution that marries the merits of III-V compounds silicon technology for various integrated circuit (PIC) applications. The current main-stream Ethernet trends larger bandwidth are pushing higher modulation baudrate or employing advanced format datacom However, neither is likely able s...

We examine the correlations between the parameters of ultranarrow off-centred filtering and pulse width on the performance of a wavelength paired Nx40Gbit/s DWDM transmission, consisting of carrier suppressed return-to-zero signal with 0.64 bit/s/Hz (without polarizationdivision multiplexing) spectral efficiency.

A scheme for generating multiwavelength laser source based on a linear optical amplifier (LOA) is demonstrated for potential applications in dense-wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) communication systems. The laser output shows up to 80 laser lines (SNR at least 20 dB) with 0.4 nm channel spacing covering C and L band. Simultaneous tuning of muti-wavelengths is also demonstrated.

The power of a group DWDM signal increases nonlinear interference in the optical path, especially value FWM. These interfering factors degrade transmission quality and can completely disable WDM system. Therefore, when designing system, it is necessary to optimize transmitted minimize probability error channel. article presents research results analysis affecting fiber-optic communication syste...
