Résumé

We experimentally demonstrate three-fold wavelength multicasting of a 64-quadrature-amplitude-modulation (QAM), 120-Gbit/s data channel using a microresonator Kerr frequency comb and nonlinear wave mixing. The multicasting is achieved with a data signal and four comb lines serving as the pump lasers in a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide. Minimal extra phase noise from the pumps is introduced into the multicast copies due to the mutual coherence between the Kerr comb lines. All three multicast copies achieve a bit-error rate (BER)

Scalable and reconfigurable optical tapped-delay-line for multichannel equalization and correlation using nonlinear wave mixing and a Kerr frequency comb

Fatemeh Alishahi, Ahmad Fallahpour, Maxim Karpov, Tobias Kippenberg, Arne Kordts, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer

We experimentally demonstrate a scalable and reconfigurable optical tapped-delay-line (TDL) for multichannel equalization and correlation of 20-Gbaud quadrature-phase-shift-keyed (QPSK) signals using nonlinear wave mixing and a microresonator Kerr frequency comb. The optical TDL mainly consists of two stages: one being a multi-casting of the original signals in a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide with Kerr comb lines functioning as mutually coherent pumps, while the other is a coherent multiplexing of the delayed and weighted signal replicas in a second PPLN. A two- or three-tap optical TDL is demonstrated to simultaneously equalize a distorted QPSK data signal, reducing the error vector magnitude (EVM) from 22.5% to either 19.9% or 18.2%, and search two- or three-symbol patterns on another QPSK signal.

Demonstration of Tunable Optical Aggregation of QPSK to 16-QAM Over Optically Generated Nyquist Pulse Trains Using Nonlinear Wave Mixing and a Kerr Frequency Comb

Fatemeh Alishahi, Ahmad Fallahpour, Maxim Karpov, Tobias Kippenberg, Arne Kordts, Cong Liu, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer

A tunable and reconfigurable optical aggregation system is experimentally demonstrated. Optical Nyquist pulses are generated on multiple channels using a microresonator-based Kerr optical frequency comb and insertion of uniform lines by an intensity modulator. Data are modulated on optically generated Nyquist pulses and aggregated through nonlinear wave mixing in a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide. Two quadrature-phase-shift-keying (QPSK) channels are aggregated to a single 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM) channel of Nyquist pulses. To demonstrate the system tunability, we perform aggregation over different baud rates and different modulation formats. The reconfigurability of the system is demonstrated by aggregating two binary-phase-shift-keying (BPSK) channels into a QPSK or a 2-level amplitude-shift keying and a 2-level phase-shift keying (2-ASK & x002F;2-PSK) channel by tuning the relative phase and amplitude of the inputs. Furthermore, three BPSK channels are aggregated into one 4-ASK & x002F;2-PSK channel. The quality of the aggregated channel is investigated using two different approaches for wave mixing in the PPLN waveguide.

We experimentally demonstrate optical multicasting using Kerr frequency combs generated from a Si3N4 microresonator. We obtain Kerr combs in two states with different noise properties by varying the pump wavelength in the resonator and investigate the effect of Kerr combs on multicasting. Seven-fold multicasting of 20 Gbaud quadrature phase-shift-keyed signals and four-fold multicasting of 16-quadrature amplitude modulation signals have been achieved when low-phase-noise combs are input into a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide. In addition, we find that the wavelength conversion efficiency in the PPLN waveguide for chaotic combs with high noise is similar to that for low-noise combs, while the signal quality of the multicast copy is significantly degraded.
