Photonic-Assisted mm-Wave and THz Wireless Transmission towards 100 Gbit/s Data Rate

Frequenz, 2017

This paper presents photonic-assisted 60 GHz mm-wave and 325 GHz system approaches that enable the transmission of spectral-efficient and high data rate signals over fiber and over air. First, we focus on generic channel characteristics within the mm-wave 60 GHz band and at the terahertz (THz) band around 325 GHz. Next, for generating the high data rate baseband signals, we present a technical solution for constructing an extreme bandwidth arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). We then report the development of a novel coherent photonic mixer (CPX) module for direct optic-to-RF conversion of extreme wideband optical signals, with a>5 dB higher conversion gain compared to conventional photodiodes. Finally, we experimentally demonstrate record spectral efficient wireless transmission for both bands. The achieved spectral efficiencies reach 10 bit/s/Hz for the 60 GHz band and 6 bit/s/Hz for the 325 GHz band. The maximum data rate transmitted at THz frequencies in the 325 GHz band is 59...

The Future of Silicon Photonics: Not So Fast? Insights From 100G Ethernet LAN Transceivers

Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2000

While many articles have touted Si photonics' po- tential to bring the bandwidth and power-efficiency benefits of photonics to mainstream semiconductor applications, rigorous economic analysis has been lacking. This paper leverages extensive data from the major electronic and photonic semiconductor man- ufacturers to model the competitiveness of two Si photonic designs against InP-based alternatives for a 1310 nm, 100 gigabit
