Wavelength Division Multiplexing Demonstration

Abstract: We demonstrate operation of a 10-channel wavelength division multiplexed chip-to-chip optical interconnect using a single broadband source. Individual circuits and optoelectronic devices have been shown to work at data rates approaching 1 Gb/s. Current solutions are limited by trade-offs between channel spacing, crosstalk, insertion. With just two wavelengths, the multiplexers and demultiplexers can be based on directional couplers because, as mentioned earlier in Section 3. Wavelength division multiplexing is a method of modulating multiple signals at different wavelengths (channels) to transmit them on a single waveguide or fiber. To begin with, we assume that we have the element parameters from a known process design kit (PDK).
