Abstract
An energy/area-efficient low-cost broadband linearity enhancement technique using the hybrid of notch-filter and bandpass-filter micro-ring modulators (Hybrid-MRMs) is proposed to achieve higher than 3.01-dB improvement in spurious-free-dynamic-ranges with intermodulation distortions (
$\Delta $
SFDR
$_{\mathrm {IMD}}$
) and 17.9-dB improvement in integral nonlinearity (
$\Delta $
INL
$_{\mathrm {PP}}$
) over a conventional notch-filter MRM (NF-MRM) across a 4.8-dB extinction-ratio full-scale range based on rapid silicon-photonics fabrication results for the emerging applications of various analog and digital optical communication systems.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters addresses all aspects of the IEEE Photonics Society Constitutional Field of Interest with emphasis on photonic/lightwave components and applications, laser physics and systems and laser/electro-optics technology. Examples of subject areas for the above areas of concentration are integrated optic and optoelectronic devices, high-power laser arrays (e.g. diode, CO2), free electron lasers, solid, state lasers, laser materials'' interactions and femtosecond laser techniques. The letters journal publishes engineering, applied physics and physics oriented papers. Emphasis is on rapid publication of timely manuscripts. A goal is to provide a focal point of quality engineering-oriented papers in the electro-optics field not found in other rapid-publication journals.
