Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Mode-division-multiplexing (MDM) and wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) are employed simultaneously in a multimode silicon waveguide to realize on-chip MDM and MDM-WDM transmission. Asymmetric Y-junction MDM multiplexers and demultiplexers are utilized for low coherently suppressed demultiplexed crosstalk at the receiver. We demonstrate aggregate bandwidths of 20 Gb/s and 60 Gb/s for MDM and MDM-WDM on-chip links, respectively, with measured 10(-9) BER power penalties between 0.1 dB and 0.7 dB per channel.
