ENHANCEMENT OF FSR AND FINESSE USING ADD/DROP FILTER AND PANDA RING RESONATOR SYSTEMS

We present effect of the input central wavelength on microring resonator (MRR) performance using proposed systems. The first proposed system consists of series of microring resonator incorporated with an add/drop filter system, while the second system uses a PANDA ring resonator connected to an add/drop filter system. These two systems can be used to enhance the free spectrum range (FSR) and finesse (F) of the optical soliton pulses. The FSR and Finesse can be improved by raising the central wavelengths of the input pulse from 0.6 μm to 1.5 μm. This is obtained via the add/drop filter, which is used to increase the channel capacity of the communication networks as well. Simulation results for the first proposed system show that FSR and FWHM of 1530 pm and 50 pm can be obtained when the central wavelength of the input pulse is 1.5 μm. FSR and FWHM of 370 pm and 5 pm are simulated, when the PANDA ring resonator system is used. Therefore Finesse of the systems can be improved to 30.6 and 74 for the first and second proposed system, respectively.

Simulation and Analysis of Multisoliton Generation Using a PANDA Ring Resonator System

A novel system of multisoliton generation using nonlinear equations of the propagating signals is presented. This system uses a PANDA ring resonator incorporated with an add/drop filter system. Using resonant conditions, the intense optical fields known as multisolitons can be generated and propagated within a Kerr-type nonlinear medium. The present simulation results show that multisolitons can be controlled by using additional Gaussian pulses input into the add port of the PANDA system. For the soliton pulse in the microring device, a balance should be achieved between dispersion and nonlinear lengths. Chaotic output signals from the PANDA ring resonator are input into the add/drop filter system. Chaotic signals can be filtered by using the add/drop filter system, in which multi dark and bright solitons can be generated. In this work multi dark and bright solitons with an FWHM and an FSR of 425pm and 1.145 nm are generated, respectively, where the Gaussian pulse with a central wavelength of 1.55 μm and power of 600 mW is input into the system.

IEEE 802.15.3c WPAN Standard Using Millimeter Optical Soliton Pulse Generated by a Panda Ring Resonator

A system of microring resonators (MRRs) connected to an optical modified add/drop filter system known as a Panda ring resonator is presented. The optical soliton pulse of 60 GHz frequency band can be generated and used for Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) applications such as IEEE 802.15.3c. The system uses chaotic signals generated by a Gaussian laser pulse propagating within a nonlinear MRRs system. The chaotic signals can be generated via a series of microring resonators, where the filtering process is performed via the Panda ring resonator system wherein ultrashort single and multiple optical soliton pulses of 60 GHz are generated and seen at the through and drop ports, respectively. The IEEE 802.15.3c standard operates at the 60 GHz frequency band, and it is applicable for a short distance optical communication such as indoor systems, where the higher transmission data rate can be performed using a high frequency band of the output optical soliton pulses. The single and multi-soliton pulses could be generated and converted to logic codes, where the bandwidths of these pulses are 5 and 20 MHz, respectively. Thus, these types of signals can be used in optical indoor systems and transmission link using appropriate components such as transmitter, fiber optics, amplifier, and receiver.

Characterisation of bifurcation and chaos in silicon microring resonator

This study investigates the non-linear behaviours of light known as bifurcation and chaos during the propagation of light inside a non-linear silicon microring resonator (SMRR). The aim of the research is to use the non-linear behaviour of light to control the bifurcation and chaos of SMRR, which are used in engineering, biological and security systems. Bifurcation and chaos control deals with the modification of bifurcation characteristics of a parameterised non-linear system by a designed control input. The parameters of the SMRR cause bifurcation to happen in smaller round-trips among the total round-trip of 20 000 or input power. Effective parameters such as the refractive indices of a silicon waveguide, coupling coefficients (κ) and the radius of the ring (R) can be selected properly to control the non-linear behaviour. Simulated results show that rising non-linear refractive indices, coupling coefficients and radii of the SMRR lead to descending input power and round-trips when bifurcation occurs. Therefore bifurcation behaviour can be seen at a lower input power of 44 W, where the non-linear refractive index is n2=3.2×10−20 m2/W. The smallest round-trips of 4770 and 5720 can be seen for the R=40 µm and κ=0.1, respectively.

Data signal processing via manchester coding-decoding method using chaotic signals generated by PANDA ring resonator

We investigate the nonlinear behaviors of light recognized as chaos during the propagation of Gaussian laser beam inside a nonlinear polarization maintaining and absorption reducing (PANDA) ring resonator system. It aims to generate the nonlinear behavior of light to obtain data in binary logic codes for transmission in fiber optics communication. Effective parameters, such as refractive indices of a silicon waveguide, coupling coefficients (κ), and ring radius ring (R), can be properly selected to operate the nonlinear behavior. Therefore, the binary coded data generated by the PANDA ring resonator system can be decoded and converted to Manchester codes, where the decoding process of the transmitted codes occurs at the end of the transmission link. The simulation results show that the original codes can be recovered with a high security of signal transmission using the Manchester method.

High-capacity soliton transmission for indoor and outdoor communications using integrated ring resonators

A system consisting of a series of microring resonators, incorporating an add/drop system, is presented in order to create ultra-short spatial and temporal single and multisoliton pulses, which can be used for indoor and outdoor optical communications. Chaotic noise can be generated by a bright soliton pulse propagating inside a nonlinear microring resonator system. The results obtained show that a single temporal and spatial soliton pulse, with full width at half maximums of 75fs, 80fs, 700fs, 4.4ps, and 0.30nm, can be generated. The add/drop system can be used to generate a high number of ultra-short soliton pulses in the ranges of nanometer/second and picometer/second. The simulated multisolitons have full width at half maximums of 16ps, 20pm, 130ps, and 35pm and free spectrum ranges of 500ps, 0.57nm, 3.5ns, and 1.4nm, respectively. The multisolitons generated at the drop port can be used in indoor optical communications, where the ultra-short pulses with a variety of central wavelengths from λ=1550 to λ=1560 from the through port can be multiplexed-demultiplexed along an optical fiber with a length of 50km. The filtered signals can be obtained at the end of the transmission link used for optical outdoor communications. Copyright

All-Optical OFDM Generation for IEEE802.11a Based on Soliton Carriers Using Microring Resonators

The optical carrier generation is the basic building block to implement all-optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission. One method to optically generate single and multicarriers is to use the microring resonator (MRR). The MRRs can be used as filter devices, where generation of high-frequency (GHz) soliton signals as single and multicarriers can be performed using suitable system parameters. Here, the optical soliton in a nonlinear fiber MRR system is analyzed, using a modified add/drop system known as a Panda ring resonator connected to an add/drop system. In order to set up a transmission system, i.e., IEEE802.11a, first, 64 uniform optical carriers were generated and separated by a splitter and modulated; afterward, the spectra of the modulated optical subcarriers are overlapped, which results one optical OFDM channel band. The quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and 16-QAM are used for modulating the subcarriers. The generated OFDM signal is multiplexed with a single-carrier soliton and transmitted through the single-mode fiber (SMF). After photodetection, the radio frequency (RF) signal was propagated. On the receiver side, the RF signal was optically modulated and processed. The results show the generation of 64 multicarriers evenly spaced in the range from 54.09 to 55.01 GHz, where demodulation of these signals is performed, and the performance of the system is analyzed.

W-Band OFDM Transmission for Radio-Over-Fiber Link Using Solitonic Millimeter Wave Generated by MRR

A system comprises of a W-band (75-110 GHz) optical millimeter (mm)-wave generation using microring resonators (MRRs) and radio-over-fiber (RoF) link architectures is presented for multigigabit data rates demand. The MRRs are used to generate optical mm-wave soliton pulses for W-band applications. To achieve faster transmission speed wirelessly, higher spectral efficiency (SE) and better transmission performance, orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is used. The results show that the MRRs support W-band optical soliton pulses, which can be used in an OFDM transmission/receiver system. Localized narrow bandwidth soliton pulses within frequencies of 92.2-93.2 GHz can be seen in the throughput port of the Panda system with respect to the full width at half maximum and free spectrum range of 3.5 and 184 MHz, respectively. The error vector magnitude of the system was measured and the viability of the solitonic OFDM-based system for RoF link over 25-Km fiber link and 2-m wireless link was confirmed. The data rate of the system with 16-quadrature amplitude modulation is measured as 43.6 Gb/s and with 10 GHz of bandwidth, the SE is obtained as 4.36 bit/s/Hz.

Multi Soliton Generation for Enhance Optical Communication

We propose a new optical system that can be used to form the multi-soliton pulses within the micro-ring resonators. The system consists of two micro-ring resonators and an add/drop multiplexer that can be integrated into a single system. The large bandwidth signal is generated by using a soliton pulse propagating in a Kerr-type nonlinear medium. The tuned soliton pulses in either spatial or temporal modes are obtained by using the add/drop multiplexer. Results show the generation of multi-soliton pulses within the micro-ring resonator can be achieved for long distance communication. This results in an increase in the number of channels and spaces with a large free spectrum range (FSR) of 650 pm for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM).
