Hitless and gridless reconfigurable optical add drop (de)multiplexer based on looped waveguide sidewall Bragg gratings on silicon

Abstract: Reconfigurable optical add-drop filters in future intelligent and software controllable wavelength division multiplexing networks should support hitless wavelength switching and gridless bandwidth tuning. The hitless switching implies that the central wavelength of one channel can be shifted without disturbing data transmissions of other channels, while the gridless tuning means that the filter bandwidth can be adjusted continuously. Despite a lot of efforts, very few integrated optical filters simultaneously … Show more

“…In order to suppress the sidelobes, the lateral-shift apodization [7][8] is introduced. The lateral shift of corrugation of the gratings are modulated with a Gaussian function of the position z in the propagation direction.…”

“…An ideal WDM filter requires a flat-passband and broad bandwidth. The Bragg grating filter [6][7][8][9] is a promising candidate due to its unique feature of flat-top response, but it still faces the problem of polarization sensitivity. In the long-range optical fiber transmission system, the polarization of the light signal becomes random.…”

“…The ADC work as mode (de)multiplexers including two tapered waveguides [17], waveguide widths of the adiabatic directional couplers are chosen to be ω1 = 0.6 µm, ω2 = 0.45 µm, ω3 = 1.2 µm, and ω4 = 0.1 µm, the coupling length and the gap are 200 µm and 0.12 µm. The width of a multimode waveguide in the filter is chosen to be 1.2 µm to support TE1 mode, as well as to get a large feature size.…”

“…However, the single-mode waveguide grating still cannot overcome the insertion loss of signal separation and the too small feature size. However, multimode waveguide Bragg gratings (MWBGs) can achieve lossless separation of reflected signal and incident signal, the wider multimode waveguide is easy to achieve a smaller coupling coefficient without too small feature size [16,17]. Although many efforts have been done, the LP algorithm suitable for multimode Bragg gratings still needs to be demonstrated.…”

“…At present, gratings are widely used in fiber-optic communications [6][7][8], lasers [9][10][11][12], optical image processing [13][14][15] and optical sensors [16][17][18][19]. Moreover, sub-wavelength grating structures are expected to have important applications in the fields of polarizers [20,21], wave plates [22] and spatial-optical couplings [23]. Gratings with different structures can achieve various functions under different incident conditions [24][25][26][27], and many researchers are working on this.…”
