Characteristic Analysis of a Smooth Square Microring Resonant Wavelength Multiplexer

Novel formulas of amplitude coupling ratio and transmission functions are presented for a smooth square microring resonant (MRR) wavelength multiplexer.

Wide-bandwidth 25-dB amplitude noise suppression in a pump-and-signal-resonant optical parametric oscillator

We present a pump-and-signal-resonant optical parametric oscillator that provides 25 dB of amplitude noise suppression of the transmitted pump beam from dc to 20 kHz. The upper frequency range of the optical limiter increases as the pump power is increased, up to 1 MHz with 580 mW of input power. The amount of noise suppression is limited by pump-depletion effects. The upper frequency range is limited by the temporal response of the device. We present a numerical analysis that predicts this behavior.

Integrated all-optical nonlinear device for re- configurable add/drop and wavelength shifting of WDM signals

A novel configuration is proposed for an all-optical device performing two key functionalities in a communication network based on wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM): reconfigurable add/drop and wavelength shifting of single channels. The device is based on guided second-order nonlinear interactions, such as sum-frequency generation and difference-frequency generation, between the WDM channels and a suitable pump beam. A directional coupler and two parallel waveguides allow the spatial separation between the main WDM signal and the dropped or wavelength-shifted channel for a subsequent routing in the desired path. A first numerical simulation provided a cross-talk level in the dropped channel lower than -41 dB and a wavelength-shifting range of more than 40 nm.
