System degradation due to multipath coherent crosstalk in WDMnetwork nodes

This paper shows-both experimentally and through Monte Carlo simulation-that in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) lightwave networks coherent crosstalk in network nodes causes multipath fading on a seconds to minutes time scale. The result of such fading is that the bit error rate (BER) fluctuates significantly as a function of time. We find that for eight crosstalk paths a signal-to-crosstalk ratio (SXR) greater than 40 dB is required to make this fading negligible. The simulation also shows that for 32 crosstalk paths an SXR as much as 55 dB is required to combat the crosstalk penalty     

一种基于正方环形谐振器的新型宽带带通滤波器

Anisotropic polarization maintaining optical fiber ring resonators

Suppression of the polarization drift of optical fiber ring resonators is investigated both theoretically and experimentally by employing anisotropy in a polarization maintaining fiber ring. A general analytic expression for the transmission of the device is derived allowing the fiber modes to exhibit any combination of polarization crosstalk, differential loss or differential coupling. The analysis shows that a moderate level of ring anisotropy, such as that of 10 dB in line polarizer or polarization selective coupler, is sufficient to greatly suppress the drift of the eigenstates of polarization (ESOPs), finesse and resonant point, restoring the device's suitability for most practical applications. An inevitable consequence of introducing ring anisotropy is the loss of orthogonality of the ESOPs. This effect limits the anticipated benefit in high sensitivity applications. A practical anisotropic PMRR is demonstrated by inserting a thin film of nematic liquid crystal between the two halves of the polished coupler of the ring. This resonator demonstrates a polarization response immune to environmental perturbations     

Tunable filters based on an SOI nano-wire waveguide micro ring resonator

Micro ring resonator(MRR) filters based on a silicon on insulator(SOI) nanowire waveguide are fabricated by electron beam photolithography(EBL) and inductive coupled plasma(ICP) etching technology.The cross-section size of the strip waveguides is 450×220 nm2,and the bending radius of the micro ring is around 5μm.The test results from the tunable filter based on a single ring show that the free spectral range(FSR) is 16.8 nm and the extinction ratio(ER) around the wavelength 1550 nm is 18.1 dB.After thermal tuning,the filter’s tuning bandwidth reaches 4.8 nm with a tuning efficiency of 0.12 nm/℃Meanwhile,we fabricated and studied multi-channel filters based on a single ring and a double ring.After measurement,we drew the following conclusions: during the signal transmission of multi-channel filters,crosstalk exists mainly among different transmission channels and are fairly distinct when there are signals input to add ports.

Non-blocking four-port optical router based on thermo- optic silicon microrings

By using silicon-on-insulator(SOI) platform, 12 channel waveguides, and four parallel-coupling one-microring resonator routing elements, a non-blocking four-port optical router is proposed. Structure design and optimization are performed on the routing elements at 1 550 nm. At drop state with a power consumption of 0 m W, the insertion loss of the drop port is less than 1.12 d B, and the crosstalk between the two output ports is less than-28 d B; at through state with a power consumption of 22 m W, the insertion loss of the through port is less than 0.45 d B, and the crosstalk between the two output ports is below-21 d B. Routing topology and function are demonstrated for the four-port optical router. The router can work at nine non-blocking routing states using the thermo-optic(TO) effect of silicon for tuning the resonance of each switching element. Detailed characterizations are presented, including output spectrum, insertion loss, and crosstalk. According to the analysis on all the data links of the router, the insertion loss is within the range of 0.13—3.36 d B, and the crosstalk is less than-19.46 d B. The router can meet the need of large-scale optical network-on-chip(ONo C).

A Balun-BPF Using a Dual Mode Ring Resonator

In this letter, a Balun-bandpass filter (BPF) is proposed by using a dual-mode ring resonator. The Balun-BPF is not a simply combined or integrated component of a BPF and a Balun but a single BPF with the balun function. We obtained the proper balanced outputs and two-pole BPF characteristic by symmetrically placing the output ports at lambda/2 distance from each other on the dual-mode ring resonator. The fabricated Balun-BPF has a bandwidth of 40 MHz and an insertion loss of 2.4 dB at a center frequency of 2.45 GHz. The differences between the two outputs are 180-184deg in phase and within 1dB in magnitude. The measured frequency responses agree well with simulated ones.     

Analysis of four-port optical fiber ring and loop resonators usinga 3×3 fiber coupler and degenerate two-wave mixing

A theoretical analysis of four-port optical fiber ring and loop resonators using a 3×3 fiber directional coupler and degenerate two-wave mixing is presented. Expressions for the circulating (resonant) and output fields and intensities, as well as resonance conditions for two slightly different configurations of the loop resonator and for the ring resonator are obtained. It is found that the use of the degenerate two-wave mixing greatly improves the characteristics of these resonators. For example, the crosstalk of the ring or loop resonators when used as a wavelength division demultiplexer can be significantly deduced

An eight-channel add-drop filter using vertically coupled microringresonators over a cross grid

An eight-channel add-drop cross-grid vertically coupled microring resonator (VCMRR) filter is proposed and demonstrated. The cross grid comprises a grid-like array of buried channel waveguides which perpendicularly cross through each other, VCMRRs at each of the cross-grid nodes serve as the wavelength selective add-drop filters. Measured crosstalk levels at the crossings are typically less than -30 dB. Rings with a nominal radius of 10 μm are used to achieve a free-spectral range of 20 nm and optical bandwidths of 1 nm, while changes of the radii in increments of 50 nm lead to a nominal channel spacing of 5.7 nm     

Photonic Microwave Channel Selective Filter Incorporating a Thermooptic Switch Based on Tunable Ring Resonators

A photonic microwave (MW) channel selective filter was demonstrated incorporating a 1times2 switch based on two tunable polymeric resonators with different free-spectral ranges (FSRs). Each resonator plays a role as an ON-OFF switch through the thermooptic effect, consisting of two cascaded rings with an electrode formed on one of them. The optical signal carrying the MW signal is routed to either port of the switch and detected to exhibit the filtered output at the frequency determined by the FSR of the corresponding resonator. When the channel centered at 10 GHz was chosen, the extinction ratio was ~30 dB, the bandwidth 1 GHz, and the electrical power consumption 4.1 mW. And for the other channel located at 20 GHz, we have achieved the extinction ratio of ~30 dB, the bandwidth of 2 GHz, and the required power of 8.0 mW. Finally, the crosstalk between the selected and blocked channels was higher than 24 dB.

This compact, high performance filter is useful for mobile and personal communication systems     

Asymmetrically coupled silicon-on-insulator microring resonators for compact add-drop multiplexers

We report on improved filter characteristics of microring resonators (MRs) used as add-drop multiplexers for integrated photonic circuits. By introducing an asymmetrical coupling of the signal waveguides to the resonator, a higher throughput attenuation and drop efficiency is attained. The throughput attenuation is the decisive property for the application of microrings in photonic networks since it determines the crosstalk between drop signal and add signal at the throughput channel of an add-drop multiplexer. Experimental results are compared with analytical relations. MRs with a free-spectral range of 24 nm are fabricated on silicon-on-insulator substrates. A crosstalk reduction by 8.8 dB due to asymmetrical coupling is demonstrated.
