Coherent optical links are becoming increasingly attractive for intra-data center applications
as data rates scale. Realizing the era of high-volume short-reach coherent links will require …

To answer the question:“Is optical phase conjugation (OPC) capable of compensating
nonlinear distortions caused by not only Kerr effect of optical fibre, but also the carrier …

We study the efficiency and numerical accuracy of two digital backpropagation schemes for
post-compensating SOA-induced nonlinear impairments in the context of coherent receivers …

The pattern effect in semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is experimentally investigated in
40Gbps coherent 16QAM transmissions. The pattern-dependent phase distortion reveals to …

We demonstrate through numerical simulations that a passive single-bus microring
resonator (MRR) employed as notch filter enables to directly modulate an ordinary …

Ultrafast all-optical memory at 250 Gb/s using Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) with
symmetrical quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifiers (QDSOAs), acting as all-optical …

We conduct a thorough comparison of two basic notch filters employed to mitigate the
pattern effect that manifests when semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) serve linear …

A simple digital pre-compensation technique for the pattern-dependent phase distortion in
Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers is proposed for coherent QAM transmitters. The …
