“…The 1-dB through-port power penalty is attributed to the dynamic operation and loss-inducing presence of the pump. Noting the change in slope of the drop-port curve, about 1 dB of its 2.3-dB power penalty is ascribed to narrowband filtering and nonlinear phase (3-dB bandwidth of 10.6 GHz) as in [2], [8], while the rest is attributed to high-speed dynamic operation. The data channel's transitions are shown at the drop port (Fig.…”

“…Optical technologies supporting the immense bandwidth allocated by wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM), while offering low-power switching capabilities, may alleviate the bandwidth and power limitations in existing chip-to-chip and future on-chip networks [1]. The silicon-on-insulator materials system is attractive for realizing these photonic integrated circuit-based interconnection networks due to high index contrast and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor process compatibility [2]- [10]. Furthermore blocks, having exhibited complex passive filters [2]- [4], as well as electrooptic and all-optical modulators [5]- [7].…”

Abstract-Simultaneous all-optical switching of 20 continuouswave wavelength channels is achieved in a microring resonator-based silicon broadband 1 2 2 comb switch. Moreover, single-channel power penalty measurements are performed during active operation of the switch at both the through and the drop output ports. A statistical characterization of the drop-port insertion losses and extinction ratios of both ports shows broad spectral uniformity, and bit-error-rate measurements during passive operation indicate a negligible increase in signal degradation as the number of wavelength channels exiting the drop port are scaled from one to 16, with peak powers of 06 dBm per channel. A high-speed broadband switching device, such as the one described here, is a crucial element for the deployment of interconnection networks based on silicon photonic integrated circuits.

“…The power penalty is measured for data rates of 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, and 12.5 Gb/s, and (due to the ring's low-pass characteristics) increases sharply as the data rate exceeds the resonator bandwidth of about 10 GHz. These measurements are also verified using the model described in [5]. For the current device structure, assuming 40 wavelength channels each modulated at 20 Gb/s, an overall bandwidth of 0.8 Tb/s can be envisioned with a power penalty of less than 2.5 dB.…”

“…The high-Q resonance of a microresonator tends to distort the non-return-to-zero (NRZ) optical signal data waveform in high-bandwidth systems due to the nonuniform attenuation of the narrow-band microresonator-based filter 35 . In light of this, we may need to tailor the passband of microresonators 36 that are sufficiently wide-band in order to minimize the waveform distortion.…”

We propose a design of an optical switch on a silicon chip comprising a 5 × 5 array of cascaded waveguide-crossing-coupled microring resonator-based switches for photonic networks-on-chip applications. We adopt our recently demonstrated design of multimode-interference (MMI)-based wire waveguide crossings, instead of conventional plain waveguide crossings, for the merits of low loss and low crosstalk. The microring resonator is integrated with a lateral p-i-n diode for carrier-injection-based GHz-speed on-off switching. All 25 microring resonators are assumed to be identical within a relatively wide resonance line width. The optical circuit switch can employ a single wavelength channel or multiple wavelength channels that are spaced by the microring resonator free spectral range. We analyze the potential performance of the proposed photonic network in terms of (i) light path cross-connections loss budget, and (ii) DC on-off power consumption for establishing a light path. As a proof-of-concept, our initial experiments on cascaded passive silicon MMI-crossing-coupled microring resonators demonstrate 3.6-Gbit/s non-return-to-zero data transmissions at on-and off-resonance wavelengths.
