Abstract
ABSTRACT We have proposed and successfully simulated a general design concept of an 8PSK generator using a silicon microring modulator. Usually, quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) is generated using in-phase/quadrature modulator in balanced condition or in un-balanced condition showing a square-shape and rectangular-shape constellation mapping in complex plane, respectively. By introducing 8 dB loss in the Q-arm of the first QPSK modulator, an unbalanced QPSK modulator has been generated. Thereby cascading both the QPSK modulators, an optical 8PSK has been synthesized.
期刊介绍:
Fiber and Integrated Optics , now incorporating the International Journal of Optoelectronics, is an international bimonthly journal that disseminates significant developments and in-depth surveys in the fields of fiber and integrated optics. The journal is unique in bridging the major disciplines relevant to optical fibers and electro-optical devices. This results in a balanced presentation of basic research, systems applications, and economics. For more than a decade, Fiber and Integrated Optics has been a valuable forum for scientists, engineers, manufacturers, and the business community to exchange and discuss techno-economic advances in the field.
