Subchannel drop and add operation by using silicon photonic all-optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
Abstract:
This study investigates the subchannel drop and add operation of a silicon photonic all-optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing demultiplexer (O-OFDM-DEMUX) circuit. The proposed device consists of two O-OFDM-DEMUX circuits with four subchannels at a frequency spacing of 10 GHz and four 2×2 Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI)-type optical switches for drop and through operations, with another four 2×2 MZI-type optical switches for add and through operations. A subchannel on-off ratio of over 20 dB was achieved. In addition, a new subchannel was successfully added to the target subchannel, although the shape of the transmissivity spectrum was slightly degraded through the detuning of the spectrum.
