Experimental Study of In-line Nonlinearity Mitigation for a 400 Gb/s Dual-Carrier Superchannel with Joint Reception Using a Waveband-Shift-Free OPC
We experimentally study waveband-shift-free optical phase conjugation (OPC) of a 400-Gb/s dual-carrier superchannel and discuss the effectiveness of the OPC for multi-channel nonlinear mitigation. After joint reception of the 31.44 GBd-PDM-16QAM...
Ultra-Wideband All-optical Interband Wavelength Conversion Using a Low-complexity Dispersion-engineered SOI Waveguide
We experimentally present a low-complexity dispersion-engineered all-optical wavelength-converter using a photonic integrated-circuit based on SOI waveguide. We achieve a single-sided conversion bandwidth of ~35 nm from C- to S-band, and...
