We demonstrate a 200 Gbaud OOK link without any optical amplification using C-band externally modulated laser with 3.3 dBm of modulated output power. We achieve below 6.25% overhead HD-FEC threshold after 200 meters of SMF.

Funding: The research has been supported by the European Regional Development Fund project No.1.1.1.1/18/A/068. The Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia as a Center of Excellence has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Framework Programme H2020-WIDESPREAD-01-2016-2017-TeamingPhase2 under grant agreement No. 739508, project CAMART2., The paper presents a simulation model developed for a special optical coupler intended for coupling radiation from signal and pump sources used for the realization of cladding-pumped doped fibre amplifiers. The model is developed in COMSOL Multiphysics and used to assess the pumping efficiency for different side pumping angles and different numbers of electromagnetic modes. The obtained results show that the highest pumping efficiency, above 75 %, is achieved for 5–14 modes when two fibres representing the pump source and the signal source form a 10-degree angle between their central axes. The search for the optimal number of modes corresponds to the development trend in optical coupler technology where the multimode pumping by light-emitting diode (LED) replaces the classical scheme with a single-mode pumping by a laser diode (LD). © 2022 Sciendo.

We experimentally demonstrate a net-rate 503.61-Gbit/s discrete multitone (DMT) transmission over 10-km 7-core fiber with 1.5-��m single mode VCSEL, where low-complexity kernelrecursive-least-squares algorithm is employed for nonlinear channel equalization., 3 pages, 44th European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC 2018), Rome, Italy, 2018

We experimentally evaluated up to 96 Gb/s/lambda PAM IM/DD transmissions with an EML and digital equalizations. Symbol-spaced FFE/DFEs with fewer than 10 taps are shown being sufficient for a high and stable performance over a 4 km SMF link.

A single-transmitter/single-receiver THz link (0.3-0.5 THz) with a record net data rate of 260 Gbit/s is experimentally demonstrated. Spectrally efficient multi-channel signal transmission is enabled bya novel frequency-band-allocation scheme with pre-and post-digital equalization.

This work demonstrates all-optical intensity modulation in integrated optical polymer waveguides doped with Si nanocrystals. The modulation here is based on free carrier absorption of 1550 nm probe signal in Si nanocrystals with excited carriers. Optical 405 nm pump was used to increase free carrier concentration. By applying pulsed pump excitation, -1.55 dB deep intensity modulation was achieved in 5 mm long waveguides. The modulation bandwidth is limited to few kHz due to excited carrier relaxation time (τ ~ 100 μs). Demonstrated all-optical reconfigurable polymer waveguides are a promising potential alternative to thermo-optical switches. QC 20171211

We experimentally characterize photon leakage from 112Gbps data channels in both non-trench and trench-assistant 7-core fibers, demonstrating telecom compatibility for QKD co-existing with high-speed data transmission when a proper core/wavelength allocation is carried out., Comment: 3 pages, 44th European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC 2018), Rome, Italy, 2018

We report on a 116 Gbit/s OOK, 4PAM and 105 Gbit/s 8PAM optical transmitter using InP-based integrated EML for interconnect applications with up to 30 dB static extinction ratio and over 100 GHz 3 dB bandwidth with 2 dB ripple.
