“…Those values are obtained from drop and through port amplitude transfer functions [16] using a transmission matrix framework to express the various couplings and using MATLAB in the simulations. It can be seen how k 3 value only affects through port rejection ratio (RR), meanwhile most critical parameter designs are k 2 and k 1 .…”

Low power consumption silicon photonics tuning filters based on compound microring resonators

Scalable integrated optics platforms based on silicon-on-insulator allow to develop optics and electronics functions on the same chip. Developments in this area are fostered by its potential as an I/O technology that can meet the throughputs demand of future many-core processors. Most of the optical interconnect designs rely on small footprint and high power efficiency microring resonators. They are used to filter out individual channels from a shared bus guide. Second-order microring filters enable denser channel packing by having sharper pass-band to stop-band slopes. Taking advantage of using a single physical ring with clockwise and counter-clockwise propagation, we implement second order filters with lower tuning energy consumption as being more resilient to some fabrication errors. Cascade ability, remote stabilization potential, energy efficiency along with simple design equations on coupling coefficients are described. We design second-order filters with FWHM from 45 GHz to 20 GHz, crosstalk between channels from -40 dB to -20 dB for different channel spacing at a specific FSR, with energy efficiencies of single ring configurations and compatible with silicon-on-insulator (SOI) state of the art platforms.

“…Recently, a RR with SG loop filte (RR-SG), as the one shown in third block of Fig. 9a, has been reported as a second order tunable optical filte with ultra-narrow-bandwidth for use in DWDM systems [41] or as part of a novel filte design technique [42]. It can also be used for designing tunable dispersion compensation modules (DCMs) by changing the value of the coupling factor k, and to achieve higher order designs in combination with other FIR filters In Fig.…”

A vertical perspective, ranging from management and routing to physical layer options, concerning dynamic network monitoring and compensation of impairments (M&C), is given. Feasibility, reliability, and performance improvements on reconfigurabl transparent networks are expected to arise from the consolidated assessment of network management and control specifications as a more accurate evaluation of available M&C techniques. In the network layer, physical parameters aware algorithms are foreseen to pursue reliable network performance. In the physical layer, some new M&C methods were developed and rating of the

“…If that is not the case, a switch matrix would be given (with ), and then it should be pruned in order to remove the unnecessary switches to get exactly what is needed for ports. In order to get more compact designs in the future, those switches can also be implemented on the same chip using ring resonators [14].…”

Abstract-This paper presents a novel cost-effective multicastcapable optical cross connect (MC-OXC) node architecture that features both tap-and-continue and tap-and-binary-split functionality. This architecture provides an interesting balance between simplicity, power efficiency and overall wavelength consumption with respect to models based on TaC (Tap and Continue) or SaD (Split-and-Delivery). The main component of this node is a novel Tap-and-2-Split Switch (Ta2S). In this paper, we propose and analyse an implementation of this switch based on integrated optics (namely, MMI taps and MZI switches), and we characterize and compare it with other alternatives implemented with the same technology. The study shows that, thanks to the presented Ta2S design, the 2-Split Tap Continue (2STC) node scales better in terms of number of components than the other alternatives. Moreover, it is more power efficient than the SaD design and requires less wavelengths than TaC thanks to the binary split capability. On the other hand, simulation results reveal that the 2-split condition does not add a significant additional wavelength consumption in usual network topologies with respect to SaD.Index Terms-All-optical multicast routing, light-trees, multicast node architectures, splitters, wavelength routed multicast.
