Optical Microring Resonators in Fluorine-Implanted Lithium Niobate for Electrooptical Switching and Filtering

We present a new approach for the fabrication of electrooptically tunable microring resonators in lithium niobate. Planar optical waveguides for vertical light confinement (Deltan o = 0.17) are produced by fluorine ion implantation. Optical microrings and bus waveguides are then formed by laser lithography masking and Ar⁺ plasma etching. Electrodes are optically isolated from the optical microrings by a polyvinyl alcohol buffer layer with a high dielectric constant (epsiv ~ 70 at 10 Hz) to improve electrooptic tuning. The microrings with a radius of 80 mu m exhibit optical resonances with a modulation depth of 11 dB, a free spectral range of 2 nm, and an electrooptical tunability of 10 pm/V.

Dynamic Waveband Switching in WDM Mesh Networks Based on a Generic Auxiliary Graph Model

Waveband switching (WBS) is a promising technique to reduce the switching and transmission costs in the optical domain of a wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) network. This paper considers the problem of provisioning dynamic traffic using WBS in a WDM mesh network. The network of interest is a homogeneous WBS network, where each node has the functionality of WBS. The problem is called the dynamic WBS problem, which involves searching waveband-routes or wavelength-routes for the dynamically arriving traffic requests. The objective is to minimize the total switching and transmission costs in the optical domain. To solve the dynamic WBS problem, an auxiliary graph model capturing the network state is proposed. Based on the auxiliary graph, two heuristic on-line WBS algorithms with different waveband grouping policies are proposed, namely the wavelength-first WBS algorithm based on the auxiliary graph (WFAUG) and the waveband-first WBS algorithm based on the auxiliary graph (BFAUG). Simulation results indicate that WBS is an attractive technique which reduces the overall switching and transmission costs by up to 30% in the network. The results also show that the WFAUG algorithm outperforms the BFAUG algorithm in terms of port savings and cost savings.     

Performances of a Fully Integrated All-Optical Pulse Reshaper Based on Cascaded Coupled Nonlinear Microring Resonators

We propose a simple way to design a fully integrated and passive all-optical pulse reshaper in the aim of reamplifying and reshaping (2R) regeneration of optical digital signals. The device could be achieved from a coupled microresonator structure with Kerr nonlinearity. By using time-domain simulation, we show that we can obtain a clear nonlinear power transfer that is capable of improving signal-to-noise ratio and reducing bit error rate for digital signals. The reshaping performances are estimated by calculating Q-factor enhancement. Since we take benefit from field enhancement at resonance, this integrated reshaper could be much smaller than other gates based on nonlinear fibers or waveguides.

Group Delay Enhancement in Circular Arrays of Microring Resonators

Circular arrays of microring resonators are proposed for enhancing the group delay of slow-wave microring lattice structures. Large peak delay enhancements can be obtained and dynamically tuned by simply varying the loop coupling coefficient. It is also shown that maximally flat group delay responses can be achieved in these structures for potential application in compact dispersionless optical delay elements.     

Synthesis of Elliptic Optical Filters Using Mutually Coupled Microring Resonators

Integrated optical filters having elliptic transfer functions are proposed using two-dimensional arrays of synchronously tuned mutually coupled microring resonators. Analysis of microring filter topologies of the most general form is facilitated by the formulation of an energy-coupling matrix for the microring array. A method for synthesizing elliptic microring filter transfer functions having the prescribed transmission poles and zeros is also presented. The approach involves representing the microring filter by an equivalent electrical network of coupled LC oscillators and applying the coupling matrix technique developed for micro-wave filters to determine the coupling parameters. An example of a sixth-order elliptic function filter is presented to demonstrate the feasibility of using mutually coupled microring resonators to realize optical filters having finite transmission zeros in the transfer function     

MAC Protocol of a Next-Generation MAN Architecture Based on WDM and All-Optical Packet Switching

As media converge to the Internet, MANs will face new demands not only in terms of bandwidth, but also in terms of services. We describe a next generation MAN architecture that has been designed within Dutch project Flamingo. Based on all-optical packet switching, this architecture supports one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-one communications in the optical domain. Specifically, we focus on the MAC layer of the network. We describe the access and fairness protocols and explain how the all-optical nature of the architecture affects the design of these protocols. We also discuss some performance results that have been obtained via simulation.     

All-Optical Label Extractor/Eraser for In-Band Labels and 160-Gb/s Payload Based on Microring Resonators

Photonic integration of an all-optical packet switch (AOPS) is a crucial issue since it leads to a great reduction of volume, power consumption, and costs. Recently, a 1 times 4 AOPS was successfully demonstrated by using an all-optical label extractor/eraser. The label extractor/eraser was implemented by means of fiber Bragg gratings and optical circulators that prevent the photonic integration of the AOPS. Here, we demonstrate a passive and asynchronous photonic integrated all-optical label extractor/eraser by using narrowband silicon-nitride add-drop ring-resonators. By exploiting the narrow bandwidth of the drop port and pass-through port error-free simultaneous separation/erasing of the in-band labels from the 160-Gb/s packet payload was demonstrated without noticeable pulse-shape distortions.     

Athermalizing and Trimming of Slotted Silicon Microring Resonators With UV-Sensitive PMMA Upper-Cladding

This letter experimentally demonstrates significant reduction in the resonance thermal sensitivity of the slotted silicon microring resonators by exploiting polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) as upper-cladding. We investigate the resonance temperature dependence on the slot width with and without PMMA upper-cladding. The experimental results show that the temperature dependence is reduced from 91 pm/$^{circ}$ C for a regular microring resonator to 27 pm/ $^{circ}$C for the PMMA-clad slotted microring resonator. The ultraviolet (UV) sensitive PMMA upper-cladding also allows the resonance wavelengths of slotted microring resonators shift by 0.5 nm under UV light trimming. With the demonstrated schemes, each individual optical component can be athermalized and precisely registered to standard wavelengths for a future multiwavelength optically interconnected computing system-on-a-chip.
