Silicon Photonics Integrated Circuits for Nonlinear Fourier Transform Based Transmission

European Conference on Optical Communication, pp. 1–4

Abstract

We demonstrate a silicon photonics transmitter capable of modulating and optically merging solitons with reduced electronic constraints. Transmission over 3800 km and 5400 km has been experimentally shown for 2 Vpp and 4 Vpp drive voltages, respectively, without significant penalties between 2-channel and 4-channel configurations.
