Two-Dimensional Spatio-Temporal Signal Processing for Dispersion Compensation in Time- Stretched ADC

Sayed, Fellow, IEEE, and Bahram Jalali, Fellow, IEEE Abstract—Time-stretched analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have offered revolutionary enhancements in the performance of electronic converters by reducing the signal bandwidth prior to digitization. An inherent limitation of the time-stretched ADC is the frequency-selective response of the optical system that reduces the effective number of bits for ultrawideband signals. This paper proposes a solution based on spatio-temporal digital processing. The digital algorithm exploits the optical phase diversity to create a flat RF frequency response, even when the system’s transfer function included deep nulls within the signal spectrum. For a 10× time-stretch factor with a 10-GHz input signal, simulations show that the proposed solution increases the overall achievable signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio to 52 dB in the presence of linear distortions. The proposed filter can be used to mitigate the Fig. 1. TS-ADC concept. dispersion penalty in other fiber optic applications as well. Index Terms—Analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), optical sig- a parallel array of slow digitizers, each clocked at a fraction nal processing, spatio-temporal digital processing, time-stretched of the Nyquist rate.

Technology and Economic Assessment of Optoelectronics
NBSIR-86/3369 A111DE M 3 b 2 7 3 PLANNING REPORT Technology and Economic Assessment of Optoelectronics Gregory Tassey Senior Economist National Bureau of Standards October 1985 100 • U56 86-3369 1985 C. 2 ww BttAtCN mPMMAEQS CEHTQ PLANNING REPORT 23 TECHNOLOGY AND ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF OPTOELECTRONICS Gregory Tassev Senior Economist National Bureau of Standards October 1985 ABSTRACT Optoelectronics is one of the two major technologies driving the revolution in communications, which will not only have profound effects on the economy but on social and political structures as well. The other technology, optical fibers, is already beginning to mature, but optoelectronics is rapidly catching ud, enabling the acceleration of the "information age". Future productivity advances in optoelectronics will come from integration of the various signal processing functions and from improved manufacturing technologies . Integration may occur in two important stages. The first, referred to "hybrid" integration, is almost at the point of commercialization. Hybrid devices use oxide-based (ceramic) materials and integrate some of the signal processing functions. Total or "monolithic" integration, based on gallium arsenide and related materials may not reach commercialization for another 8-10 years. In both cases, the economic impact will be substantial as information technologies become a critical element of most industries. As a result, the U.S. and its major competitors, especially Japan, are making major R&D investments in optoelectronics. Worldwide R&D expenditures are expected to reach $1 billion by 1987. In terms of market penetration, fiberoptic systems will attain annual sales of more than S3 billion by 1989. The Japanese have made a national commitment to becoming the world leader in this market, borrowing from their substantial expertise in semiconductor technology.

Recent Advances in Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuits John E
Invited Paper Recent Advances in Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuits John E. Bowers*, Tin Komljenovic, Michael Davenport, Jared Hulme, Alan Y. Liu, Christos T. Santis, Alexander Spott, Sudharsanan Srinivasan, Eric J. Stanton, Chong Zhang Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106, USA *[email protected] ABSTRACT We review recent breakthroughs in silicon photonics technology and components and describe progress in silicon photonic integrated circuits. Heterogeneous silicon photonics has recently demonstrated performance that significantly outperforms native III-V components. The impact active silicon photonic integrated circuits could have on interconnects, telecommunications, sensors and silicon electronics is reviewed. Keywords: Heterogeneous silicon platform, integrated optoelectronics, optoelectronic devices, semiconductor lasers, silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology, silicon photonics 1. INTRODUCTION Heterogeneous silicon photonics, due to its potential for medium- and large-scale integration, has been intensively researched. Recent developments have shown that heterogeneous integration not only allows for a reduced cost due to economy of scale, but also allows for same or even better performing devices than what has previously been demonstrated utilizing only III-V materials. Furthermore we believe that optical interconnects are the only way to solve the scaling limitation in modern processors, and that heterogeneous silicon photonics with on-chip sources is the best approach in the long term as it promises higher efficiency and lower cost. We address both beliefs in sections that follow. In this paper we plan to briefly address heterogeneous silicon approaches, and point-out that the heterogeneous silicon platform is more than just III-V on silicon but can have advantages for isolators, circulators and nonlinear devices (Section 2).

Avalanche Photodiode a User Guide Understanding Avalanche Photodiode for Improving System Performance
High performance sensors APPLICATION NOTE Avalanche photodiode A User Guide Understanding Avalanche photodiode for improving system performance Introduction Contents Avalanche photodiode detectors (APD) APD structures have and will continue to be used in APD noise many diverse applications such as laser Photon counting technique range finders, data communications or photon correlation studies. This paper discusses APD structures, critical Applications performance parameter and excess noise Light detection factor. Laser range finder For low-light detection in the 200- to Photon counting 1150-nm range, the designer has three Datacomm basic detector choices - the silicon PIN Optical Tomography detector, the silicon avalanche LIDAR photodiode (APD) and the photomultiplier Fluorescence detection tube (PMT). Particle sizing APDs are widely used in instrumentation and aerospace applications, offering a combination of high speed and high sensitivity unmatched by PIN detectors, and quantum efficiencies at >400 nm unmatched by PMTs. www.optoelectronics.perkinelmer.com APPLICATION NOTE Table of Contents What is an Avalange photodiode 3 Selecting an APD 5 Excess Noise Factor 6 Geiger Mode 7 Applications 8 www.optoelectronics.perkinelmer.com Avalanche photodiode 2 APPLICATION NOTE What is an Avalanche Photodiode? APD Structures In order to understand why more than one APD structure exists, it is important to appreciate the design trade-offs that must be accommodated by the APD designer. The ideal APD would have zero dark noise, no excess noise, broad spectral and frequency response, a gain range from 1 to 106 or more, and low cost. More simply, an ideal APD would be a good PIN photodiode with gain! In reality however, this is difficult to achieve because of the need to trade-off conflicting design requirements.

Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) exist as the optical analog to integrated circuits; however, in place of transistors, PICs consist of numerous scaled optical components, including such “building-block” structures as waveguides, MMIs, lasers, and optical ring resonators. The ability to construct electronic and photonic components on a single microsystems platform offers transformative potential for the development of technologies in fields including communications, biomedical device development, autonomous navigation, and chemical and atmospheric sensing. Developing on-chip systems that provide new avenues for integration and replacement of bulk optical and electro-optic components also reduces size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) limitations, which are important in the selection of instrumentation for specific flight projects. The number of applications currently emerging for complex photonics systems—particularly in data communications— warrants additional investigations when considering reliability for space systems development.
