Theoretical Analysis of Directly Modulated Reflective Semiconductor Optical Amplifier Performance Enhancement by Microring Resonator-Based Notch Filtering

Abstract: Abstract:We demonstrate the feasibility of using a single microring resonator (MRR) as optical notch filter for enabling the direct modulation of a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) at more than tripled data rate than possible with the RSOA alone. We conduct a thorough simulation analysis to investigate and assess the impact of critical operating parameters on defined performance metrics, and we specify how the former must be selected so that the latter can become acceptable. By using an MRR of… Show more

“…Second, we considered the theoretical RSOA E/O response for benchmarking against the experiment. In [17], we concisely derived this response using and combing material from the relevant references cited therein that have suitably applied small-signal analysis. For the sinusoidal modulation current used when this response was measured experimentally [21], the RSOA E/O transfer function is reduced to T RSOA (ω) = D(0)/2D(ω), where D(ω) = 3.…”

“…Zoiros in Ref. [24] demonstrate the feasibility of using a single microring resonator (MRR) as optical notch filter for enabling RSOA direct modulation at extended data rate than is possible with the RSOA alone. To this aim, it has been investigated and specified how the MRR should be designed to improve the encoded signal characteristics for RSOA direct modulation applications.…”

“…Microring resonators (MRRs) are vital photonic components in the development of high-index silicon photonic platforms. It produces optical resonance by utilizing the constructive interference phenomenon from the interaction between propagated light in its waveguides [1][2][3]. The MRR waveguide consists of a ring and a straight waveguide that interact in the presence of light propagation, provided that the distance or gap between them is small, usually in micro or nanometer sizes [4,5].…”
