Ultrahigh Count Coherent WDM Channels Transmission Using Optical Parametric Comb-Based Frequency Synthesizer

Abstract

A novel optical frequency synthesizer capable of generating a multitude of narrow linewidth oscillations, fully compatible with high-speed fiber-optic transmission requirements, is presented. The new device is based on an ultra-dense and wideband parametric comb capable of generating more than 1800 spectral lines with 6.25 GHz spacing within 100 nm (C + L band) of optical bandwidth and 3 dB spectral flatness. The parametric comb generation relies on the highly efficient nonlinear interaction of the ultra-short and high peak power pulse train in the precisely controlled dispersive medium. The generated comb source is used for coherent transmission of 1520 Nyquist ultra-dense wavelength division multiplexed channels in a flex-grid compatible optical access network architecture, offering up to 30 Gb/s per user over a 50 km of standard single mode fiber with estimated aggregate capacity of 32 Tb/s. The line spacing tunablity and one-to-multiple coherent cloning capability make the proposed multicarrier generator a strong contender fully capable of replacing thousands of discrete lasers in optical data communication systems.
