Abstract

We demonstrate a multi-channel silicon photonic transmitter based on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and mode division multiplexing (MDM). The light source is realized by a silicon nitride (SiN) Kerr frequency comb and optical modulation is realized by silicon electro-optic modulators. Three wavelengths and two modes are employed to increase the optical transmission capacity. The accumulated data rate reaches 150 Gb/s. The dense integration of WDM and MDM components with a compact optical comb source opens new avenues for the future high-capacity multi-dimensional optical transmission.

摘要

我们展示了一种基于波分复用（WDM）和模分复用（MDM）的多通道硅光子发射器。光源由氮化硅（SiN）克尔频率梳实现，光调制由硅电光调制器实现。采用三个波长和两种模式来提高光传输容量。累积数据速率达到150 Gb/s。WDM和MDM组件与紧凑光梳源的密集集成，为未来的高容量多维光传输开辟了新途径。
