Ultra-high-speed optical serial-to-parallel data conversion by time-domain optical Fourier transformation in a silicon nanowire
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2011
We demonstrate conversion from 64 × 10 Gbit/s optical timedivision
multiplexed (OTDM) data to dense wavelength division
multiplexed (DWDM) data with 25 GHz spacing. The conversion is
achieved by time-domain optical Fourier transformation (OFT) based on
four-wave mixing (FWM) in a 3.6 mm long silicon nanowire. A total of 40
out of 64 tributaries of a 64 × 10 Gbit/s OTDM-DPSK data signal are
simultaneously converted with a bit-error rate (BER) performance below
the 2 × 10−3 FEC limit. Using a 50 m long highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF)
for higher FWM conversion efficiency, 43 tributaries of a 64 × 10 Gbit/s
OTDM-OOK data signal are converted with error-free performance
