Optical transmitter module with hybrid integration of DFB laser diode and proton-exchanged LiNbO_(3)modulator chip

In this work,a hybrid integrated optical transmitter module was designed and fabricated.A proton-exchanged Mach–Zehnder lithium niobate(LiNbO_(3))modulator chip was chosen to enhance the output extinction ratio.A fiber was used to adjust the rotation of the polarization direction caused by the optical isolator.The whole optical path structure,including the laser chip,lens,fiber,and modulator chip,was simulated to achieve high optical output efficiency.After a series of process improvements,a module with an output extinction ratio of 34 dB and a bandwidth of 20.5 GHz(from 2 GHz)was obtained.The optical output efficiency of the whole module reached approximately 21%.The link performance of the module was also measured.

112 Gbit/s transmitter optical subassembly based on hybrid integrated directly modulated lasers

Based on the hybrid integration technology, an ultra-compact and low cost transmitter optical subassembly module is proposed. Four directly modulated lasers are combined with a coarse wavelength division multiplexer operated at the O-band. The bandwidth for all channels is measured to be approximately 3 GHz. The 112 Gb∕s transmission is experimentally demonstrated for a 10 km standard single mode fiber（SSMF）, in which an optical isolator is used for avoiding the back-reflected and scattered light to improve the bit error rate（BER） performance. A low BER and clear eye opening are achieved for 10 km transmission.

A full-duplex optical access system with hybrid 64/16/4QAM-OFDM downlink

A full-duplex optical passive access scheme is proposed and verified by simulation, in which hybrid 64/16/4-quadrature amplitude modulation(64/16/4QAM) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) optical signal is for downstream transmission and non-return-to-zero(NRZ) optical signal is for upstream transmission. In view of the transmitting and receiving process for downlink optical signal, in-phase/quadrature-phase(I/Q) modulation based on Mach-Zehnder modulator(MZM) and homodyne coherent detection technology are employed, respectively. The simulation results show that the bit error ratio(BER) less than hardware decision forward error correction(HD-FEC) threshold is successfully obtained over transmission path with 20-km-long standard single mode fiber(SSMF) for hybrid downlink modulation OFDM optical signal. In addition, by dividing the system bandwidth into several subchannels consisting of some continuous subcarriers, it is convenient for users to select different channels depending on requirements of communication.

1.5μm, 8×12.5Gb/s of hybrid-integrated TOSA with isolators and ROSA for 100GbE application

Compact transmitter and receiver optical sub-assemblies（TOSA and ROSA） are fabricated in our laboratory and have an aggregated capacity of 100 Gb/s. Specially, directly modulated laser（DML） drivers with two layers of electrical circuit boards are designed to inject RF signals and bias currents separately. For all the lanes, the3 dB bandwidth of the cascade of the TOSA and ROSA exceeds 9 GHz, which allows the 12.5 Gb/s operation.With the 12.5 Gb/s × 8-lane operation, clear eye diagrams for back-to-back and 30-km amplified transmission with a dispersion compensation fiber are achieved. Low cost and simple processing technology make it possible to realize commercial production.

Design and analysis of an energy-efficient O-QPSK coherent IR-UWB transceiver with a 0.52° RMS phase-noise fractional synthesizer

This paper explores an energy-efficient pulsed ultra-wideband（UWB） radio-frequency（RF） front-end chip fabricated in 0.18-μm CMOS technology, including a transmitter, receiver, and fractional synthesizer. The transmitter adopts a digital offset quadrature phase-shift keying（O-QPSK） modulator and passive direct-phase multiplexing technology, which are energy-and hardware-efficient, to enhance the data rate for a given spectrum.A passive mixer and a capacitor cross-coupled（CCC） source-follower driving amplifier（DA） are also designed for the transmitter to further reduce the low power consumption. For the receiver, a power-aware low-noise amplifier（LNA） and a quadrature mixer are applied. The LNA adopts a CCC boost common-gate amplifier as the input stage, and its current is reused for the second stage to save power. The mixer uses a shared amplification stage for the following passive IQ mixer. Phase noise suppression of the phase-locked loop（PLL） is achieved by utilizing an even-harmonics-nulled series-coupled quadrature oscillator（QVCO） and an in-band noise-aware charge pump（CP） design. The transceiver achieves a measured data rate of 0.8 Gbps with power consumption of 16 m W and31.5 m W for the transmitter and the receiver, respectively. The optimized integrated phase noise of the PLL is0.52° at 4.025 GHz.

Record-high 60 Gb/s optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing（OFDM） transmissions over intensity modulation and direct-detection（IMDD）-based 100 m optical mode（OM1） multi-mode fiber（MMF） links are experimentally demonstrated, utilizing 10 GHz electro-absorption modulated laser intensity modulators at a single 1550 nm wavelength. Adaptive bit loading and a simple central launching scheme of the proposed scheme show an effective way for combating the channel fading and simplifying the system structure. It shows good potential in short reach data center interconnections.
