Performance of chip-scale optical frequency comb generators in coherent WDM communications

Tobias Kippenberg

Optical frequency combs have the potential to become key building blocks of wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) communication systems. The strictly equidistant narrow-band spectral lines of a frequency comb can serve either as carriers for parallel WDM ...

Experimental Generation and Time Multiplexing of Data-Carrying Nyquist Sinc Shaped Channels from a Single Microresonator-based Kerr Frequency Comb

Tobias Kippenberg, Maxim Karpov, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Arne Kordts, Yiming Cao, Fatemeh Alishahi, Ahmad Fallahpour

We experimentally achieve optical time multiplexing of multiple Nyquist channels. A single microresonator Kerr comb allows the generation of multiple Nyquist sinc shaped pulse trains. TDM of pulse trains are obtained through wavelength conversion inside a ...
