Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) have had a significant impact on WDM transmission systems and are scalable, reliable, economic, and have performance comparable to discrete optoelectronic components. Integration of SOAs to the PIC platform extend the performance and benefits of PICs.

In metro Ethernet/WDM networks, it remains a challenge on how to improve performance through cross-layer traffic optimization. We experimentally study how to intelligently use L2 forwarding or L1 switching by monitoring the output queue size.

We demonstrate a harmonically mode-locked laser employing a 151-cm-long bismuth-oxide-based erbium-doped fiber and a 250-cm-long bismuth-oxide-based nonlinear fiber. Stable 10-GHz short pulses are obtained with a 60-nm tuning range covering both the C- and L-bands.

An optical transmitter for generating phase-shift-keying (PSK) radio-frequency (RF)-signal is experimentally demonstrated, where a high-frequency RF-carrier is obtained by self-heterodyning and the PSK-modulation is achieved by the amplitude-shift-keying-to-PSK conversion in an integrated dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator.
