Experimental Demonstration of Optical Modulation Format Identification Using SOI-based Photonic Reservoir

Abstract

We experimentally show modulation format identification of optical signals using silicon-on-insulator (SOI) photonic-integrated-circuit-based reservoir. After 100-km SSMF transmission, we achieve identification of 32 GBd 4QAM, 16QAM, 32QAM and 64QAM signals with up to ~97% accuracy.
