Optoelectronic techniques for ultrafast device network analysis to 700 GHz

Recent advances in state-of-the-art optoelectronic techniques are presented for small-signal electronic device network analysis. The impetus for optoelectronic approaches is given by the severely inadequate bandwidth coverage of existing measurement techniques. Based on a comparison of the trade-offs offered by various optoelectronic techniques, external electrooptic sampling was chosen. Then, the three basic building blocks of an electrooptic characterization system are discussed, which cover the areas of wide-band signal measurement, generation and transmission. The building blocks are subsequently integrated into a complete electrooptic network analyser system capable of active device characterization over a 100 GHz bandwidth. These capabilities are demonstrated on a heterojunction field-effect transistor with a directly-measured maximum frequency of oscillation of 94 GHz. Then, the performance of the electrooptic network analyser is optimized by minimizing transmission line losses, and by improving signal generation and measurement geometries. The resulting system exhibits an unprecedented single-measurement bandwidth of 700 GHz on passive structures. The system performance is verified by comparing measured results with simple models of the measured passive structures.     

Spatiotemporal and Thermal Analysis of VCSEL for Short-range Gigabit Optical Links

High-speed Optoelectronic Modules using Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSEL) coupled to Multi Mode Fibers (MMF) are a performing and low-cost solution for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) in short-distance optical links. A complete model of the spatiotemporal behavior of multimode VCSELs, through static and dynamic response, noise, thermal effects, and its coupling to MMF has been investigated. Relative Intensity Noise shows modal dependence and can be affected by spatial filtering due to coupling and fiber propagation. Simulations permit to evaluate critical parameters, such as modulation formats, launching conditions, and operating temperature for global bandwidth and eye diagram optimization up to 10 Gb/s. Simulation results are compared to measurements on prototype optoelectronic modules.

OEIC technologies for high-speed optical interconnection system

As the level of integration and the power of computation increase, methods of interconnecting computational elements attract more attention and the total system performance is bottlenecked by the problems associated with electrical interconnections. Optical interconnections have advantages of practically unlimited bandwidth and absence of crosstalk. To utilize such merits of optical interconnections, a large number of low-cost high-performance optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs) are needed. This paper focuses on monolithically integrated receiver OEICs that consist of InP/InGaAs p-i-n photodiodes and fully ion-implanted InP junction field-effect transistors (JFETs). In the formation of shallow InP p-n junctions we use a co-implantation technique in which we implant a group V element together with Be, a dopant, and take advantage of damage and stoichiometry effects. We fabricate a p-i-n/JFET amplifier receiver front-end circuit and a receiver 2×2 crosspoint switch circuit using this technique. We also develop bandwidth enhancement designs using inductive peaking and cascoding. Finally, we demonstrate a single-channel, free-space optical interconnection system with a bandwidth of 1.5 GHz and an interconnection length of 50 cm.     

Optoelectronic integration based on GaAs material

Optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs) in which both optoelectronic and electronic devices are monolithically integrated can exhibit various advantages in improving performance, functionality and reliability. This review concerns the development of OEICs based on GaAs systems. The requirements of integration include the development of devices having high performance and structures suitable for integration, and fabrication techniques for planar, process-compatible integrated structures. Superior devices such as low-threshold-current quantum-well (QW) lasers, planar-structure metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodiodes and the planar integration process have been developed, and these have been used to fabricate multichannel transmit- and receive-OEICs operating at gigabit rates. The applications of such OEICs have been demonstrated in high-speed optical links and 4×4 optical switches. The technological areas expected to be developed further are discussed in view of the future widespread applications of OEICs to communication and signal-processing systems.     

Alignment-free optical modules using solder-bump-bonding technique for free-space optical interconnections

We propose alignment-free optical modules using a solder-bump-bonding technique for constructing free-space optical interconnection systems without a special alignment procedure. Bonding pads for mounting an optoelectronic device chip are fabricated by exposing a photosensitive resin film to light traveling through the optical system of the module so that the image positions of the bonding pads on both image planes of the optical interconnection system are aligned with each other. A device chip is mounted by solder-bump bonding and is set at a proper position by the surface tension of molten solder. The effectiveness of the technique is verified by constructing alignment-free optical modules.

Optimization Approaches for Designing Quantum Reversible Arithmetic Logic Unit

Reversible logic is emerging as a promising alternative for applications in low-power design and quantum computation in recent years due to its ability to reduce power dissipation, which is an important research area in low power VLSI and ULSI designs. Many important contributions have been made in the literatures towards the reversible implementations of arithmetic and logical structures; however, there have not been many efforts directed towards efficient approaches for designing reversible Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU). In this study, three efficient approaches are presented and their implementations in the design of reversible ALUs are demonstrated. Three new designs of reversible one-digit arithmetic logic unit for quantum arithmetic has been presented in this article. This paper provides explicit construction of reversible ALU effecting basic arithmetic operations with respect to the minimization of cost metrics. The architectures of the designs have been proposed in which each block is realized using elementary quantum logic gates. Then, reversible implementations of the proposed designs are analyzed and evaluated. The results demonstrate that the proposed designs are cost-effective compared with the existing counterparts. All the scales are in the NANO-metric area.

Emerging Trends in Fiber Optic Networks

We propose a novel scheme for interconnection of multiple high-speed (2.5 10 Gbit s) asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) streams through an optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network with a total network capacity of up to 4 Tbit/s. The proposed architecture is based on placing the optical WDM portion of the network in a physically small area, i.e., one central office or in a single rack. This helps to avoid technological obstacles such as power budget, dispersion, and synchronization limitations as well as optical output buffering. The interconnection is an ATM packet switched network and provides optical contention resolution. We show that the implementation of such a network is possible using currently available optoelectronic technology. An optional extension of the network is proposed by a combination of WDM and space division multiplexing (SDM) technology. Simulation results are presented, indicating network throughput of up to 100 %.

Design of equalized holographic ROADMs for application in CWDM METRO networks

In this paper a design for an equalized holographic ROADM (Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer) is done. This device can address several wavelengths at the input to different output fibers, according to the holograms stored in a SLM (Spatial Light Modulator), where all the outputs are equalized in power. All combinations of the input wavelengths are possible at the different output fibers.These type of ROADMs are designed for application in CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) networks, where the distance between the different wavelength allow the use of DML (Direct Modulation Lasers) without cooling, reducing the cost and the tolerances of the network components. Application in METRO networks and its interconnection with some PON (Passive Optical Network), as a part of the access to the subscriber, is reviewed.     

An interconnect width and spacing optimization model considering scattering effect

As the feature size of the CMOS integrated circuit continues to shrink, the more and more serious scattering effect has a serious impact on interconnection performance, such as delay and bandwidth. Based on the impact of the scattering effect on latency and bandwidth, this paper first presents the quality-factor model which optimises latency and bandwidth effectively with the consideration of the scattering effect. Then we obtain the analytical model of line width and spacing with application of curve-fitting method. The proposed model has been verified and compared based on the nano-scale CMOS technology. This optimisation model algorithm is simple and can be applied to the interconnection system optimal design of nano-scale integrated circuits.
