One-to-six WDM multicasting of DPSK signals based on dual-pump four-wave mixing in a silicon waveguide

Opt Express. 2011 Nov 21;19(24):24448-53. doi: 10.1364/OE.19.024448.

Abstract

We present WDM multicasting based on dual-pump four-wave mixing in a 3-mm long dispersion engineered silicon waveguide. One-to-six phase-preserving WDM multicasting of 10-Gb/s differential phase-shift-keying (DPSK) data is experimentally demonstrated with bit-error rate measurements. All the six multicast signals show error-free performance with power penalty less than 3.8 dB.
