An integrated optical delay line is presented and experimentally demonstrated with a true-time delay continuously tuned up to 125 ps. The proposed device is based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with tuneable couplers, can be ideally operated with a single control signal and achieves a bandwidthdelay product consistently larger than ring-based delay lines. The device is successfully used in a transmission system to control the delay of a 10 Gbit/s data stream.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
