AbstractData rates in optical fiber networks have increased exponentially over the past decades and core-networks are expected to operate in the peta-bit-per-second regime by 2030. As current single-mode fiber-based transmission systems are reaching their capacity limits, space-division multiplexing has been investigated as a means to increase the per-fiber capacity. Of all space-division multiplexing fibers proposed to date, multi-mode fibers have the highest spatial channel density, as signals traveling in orthogonal fiber modes share the same fiber-core. By combining a high mode-count multi-mode fiber with wideband wavelength-division multiplexing, we report a peta-bit-per-second class transmission demonstration in multi-mode fibers. This was enabled by combining three key technologies: a wideband optical comb-based transmitter to generate highly spectral efficient 64-quadrature-amplitude modulated signals between 1528 nm and 1610 nm wavelength, a broadband mode-multiplexer, based on multi-plane light conversion, and a 15-mode multi-mode fiber with optimized transmission characteristics for wideband operation.

Abstract Supercontinuum spectrum generation is a process in which laser beam in femtoseconds and high power (kilowatts) is converted into a broad-spectrum beam of light after passing through a specific environment. Of course, achieving this range comes with many limitations. In this paper, photonic crystal fibers are used as a substrate for input pulse due to the ability to control dispersion and loss, and creating single-mode operating conditions. One of the main factors for the formation of supercontinuum spectra of injection pulses is maintaining the nonlinear performance of this type of fiber by controlling the effective mode area and also using chalcogenides (nonlinear coefficients about 100 times higher than silica) in their structure. In the proposed structure, a photonic crystal fiber with silica base element and air cavities with hexagonal structure with the center of Ge11.5As24Se64.5 chalcogenide element have been used to provide the nonlinear property of the structure. Also, in this structure, a ring of Ge20Sb15Se65 chalcogenide elements has been used to reduce the effective mode region and create a flat dispersion curve at a wavelength of 1300 nm (second telecommunication window). The input pulse power is 10 kW and its width is 50 femtoseconds, which has caused the range of the supercontinuum from 800 nm to 1900 nm. This structure can be used to provide the required wavelengths as a carrier in a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM).

We report in this paper, an optimized design and characterization of SOI based single mode, four channels wavelength demultiplexer using microrings. The usage of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) allows a wide free spectral range (FSR) for the device that is crucial in developing ultra-compact integrations of planar lightwave circuits (PLCs). The characterizations are done using Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) mode simulations from RSOFT. Serially cascaded microring arrays up to the third order are presented to study the design trade-off among the FSR, Q-factor and optical losses of the laterally coupled wavelength demultiplexer. The demultiplexer is expected to be working at C-band region of Wavelength Division Multilplexing (WDM) for a wavelength around 1550 nm. Our proposed demultiplexer has low insertion loss (< 0.5 dB) and a crosstalk around 12 ~ 19 dB.

AbstractIn this paper, performance analysis of high-speed superdense wavelength-division-multiplexing (SDWDM) optical add–drop multiplexer (OADM) optical ring network for 6 nodes, 45 wavelengths having channel spacing of 0.2 nm on 300 km unidirectional nonlinear single-mode fiber ring of 10 Gbit/s has been reported. The performance optimization of the system by comparing different modulation formats has been reported on the basis of eye diagram and bit error rate (BER). It has been reported that CSRZ modulation format can achieve BER as better as e-24, which gives best performance. This paper also presents a study of performance degradation caused by the crosstalk and the effect of channel spacing on SWDM system.
