Abstract

The performance of microphotonic-silicon devices in a geographically-distributed optical fiber network is experimentally investigated. Two different devices are tested: an optical filter based on a silicon ring resonator and an all-optical wavelength converter based on four-wave mixing in a dispersion-tailored highly nonlinear silicon waveguide. The evaluation of the devices is performed by means of eye diagrams and measurements of the bit error rate. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. (AU)
