A novel CDC ROADM architecture comprising low loss wavelength selective switch and multicast switch is illustrated and experimentally demonstrated. The proposed add/drop structure is designed to eliminate the necessity of additional amplification and filtering.Show More
We actualized a silicon photonics (SiPh)-based coherent optical subassembly (COSA) with a compact and low-height package for the next-generation transceiver form factors. We integrated optical functions required for transmitting and receiving digital coherent optical signals into a single SiPh chip. The COSA is applicable to 100-Gbps dual-polarization quadrature phase shift keying and 200Gbps dual...Show More
Digital signal processing has been widening our choice of material systems for optical integration platforms. We review recent work on digital coherent optics, and show our results for high-speed InP modulators and ultra-compact Si-based coherent-optical-subassemblies.Show More
We propose a high-speed and power-efficient CMOS-inverter-based driver for a silicon photonics-based segmented Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). The proposed driver is equipped with area-efficient three-dimensional inductors, which are suitable for flip-chip assembly with a compact area and for inductive peaking to increase the data rate. We also employ a dual-drive push-pull configuration to drive th...Show More
We devised a crosstalk suppression filter in Si photonics, whose passband wavelength is adjustable by coarse laser trimming. Results of a proof-of-concept experiment show a crosstalk reduction of 10dB.Show More
We developed a 37.5-GHz-spaced 8-subcarrier Nyquist-filtering multi/demulti-plexer with inverse sine compensation using integrated planar optics. We successfully demonstrated super-channel generation/reception with an OSNR penalty of 0.2 dB using the multi/demultiplexers and 32-Gbaud DP-QPSK subcarriers.Show More
We discuss in detail the design and fabrication of a mixed electronics-optics (MEO) modulator and related key devices. Our proposed MEO modulator generates dual-carrier quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) signals utilizing both analog electrical and optical modulation with a simple optical circuit configuration. The key devices for the MEO modulator include a high-speed electrical-phase modulator...Show More
A four-channel external-cavity laser using one shared ring resonator, which provides a frequency grid, and four slave ring resonator enables us to select the lasing frequencies of the four subchannels from the grid frequencies. A proof-of-concept experiment, performed by butt-coupling an InP semiconductor optical amplifier to a Si wire waveguide external mirror chip, demonstrated lasing of each of...Show More
We devised a simple 3D simplex modulator containing only two Mach-Zehnder sub-modulators. The modulator has smaller intrinsic modulation loss than that with the conventional configuration. It operated at 43 Gb/s.Show More
Silica-LiNbO3 hybrid integration has opened up the possibility of synthesizing advanced transmitters, including dual-carrier 16 QAM modulators and flexible-format modulators. They can provide the best mix of optics and electronics, and are the key to future optical transport systems.Show More
We discuss the detailed characteristics of a dual-carrier dual-polarization (DP) in-phase-and-quadrature (IQ) modulator. As the dual-carrier generator, we used a complementary frequency shifter (CFS), which generates two frequency-spacing-locked optical subcarriers and outputs each of them from different output ports without any optical demultiplexers. We fabricated the modulator, which integrates...Show More
We discuss the general design concept of lattice optical modulators and detailed characteristics of a flexible-format modulator with a lattice configuration. Compared to the conventional modulators, the lattice modulator provides smaller intrinsic signal-synthesis losses because it utilizes both of the two complementary quadrature-phase-shift-keying (QPSK) signals to synthesize higher-order signal...Show More
We propose an in-band OSNR monitor based on high-speed polarization analysis. We fabricated a high-speed integrated Stokes polarimeter with a PLC-based polarization filter, high-speed photodiodes and trans-impedance amplifiers, and carried out proof-of-concept experiments with 100-Gb/s DP-QPSK signals.Show More
An optical dual-carrier generator, four parallel IQ modulators, and a polarization multiplexer are integrated in a single modulator with a silica-LiNbO3 hybrid configuration. By driving the modulator with high-speed DACs we developed, we generated a 400-Gb/s dual-carrier dual-polarization 16QAM signal.Show More
Silica/LiNbO3 hybrid integration enables us to realize compact and low-loss optical modulators for advanced formats. We propose a hybrid modulator design to mitigate the difference between the thermal expansion of a silicon substrate and LiNbO3, and report the evaluation results.Show More
We devised and fabricated a simple polarization-switched QPSK modulator free from the 3-dB IQ-coupling loss. It consists of only three Mach-Zehnder BPSK modulators and a polarization-coupling circuit, and operated at 43 and 84 Gb/s.Show More
We devised a dual-carrier IQ modulator incorporating a novel complementary frequency shifter. The modulator was fabricated with a PLC-LiNbO3 hybrid integrated circuit, and it successfully generated a 100-Gb/s/pol OFDM-QPSK signal.Show More

The silica-based planar lightwave circuits for the optical passive circuits, InP-based photodiode for the opto-electrical conversion, and InP HBT for the transimpedance amplification are used to achieve high-performance. A m...Show More
A novel cascaded Mach-Zehnder interferometer configuration is proposed for an adaptive delay DPSK demodulator. We demonstrate that the 2-cascaded MZI configuration can realize three delay settings substantially, and can suppress the penalty caused by bandwidth narrowing at cascaded ROADM filters.Show More
In this paper, we describe the procedure for designing low-loss Y-branch waveguides by the wavefront matching (WFM) method, and report experimental results as proof of concept. The designed Y-branches were fabricated using silica-based planar lightwave circuit (PLC) technology. A Y-branch fabricated with a 0.45%-$\Delta$ waveguide exhibited a low excess loss of less than 0.2 dB over a wide wavele...Show More
This paper describes a waveguide crossing design that uses the wavefront matching (WFM) method. The WFM method enables us to design waveguide crossings with lower loss than simple crossings composed of two straight waveguides, without any crosstalk degradation. We report the procedure for designing waveguide crossings based on the WFM method and some experimental results. For experimental confirma...Show More
