Small in-band variations of the integrated filter group delay response have been measured. The moderate impact of the filter phase on the generated SSB-SC signal is also assessed by transmission over 60 km of standard single mode fiber, indicating an additional power penalty of about 1 dB. A frequency shift of 20 GHz for the broadband modulated data is employed in this experimental demonstration. By filtering high-order harmonics from the PM and reinserting the optical carrier, the scheme can be potentially employed for generating SSB-modulated signals up to the mmwave band starting from a lower RF carrier. The proposed architecture is simple and stable, and suitable for realizing a photonic integrated circuit in silicon-on-insulator technology with minimized footprint by monolithic integration of the DFBR filter with the PM.","PeriodicalId":269539,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Workshop on Fiber Optics in Access Networks (FOAN)","volume":"62 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131887344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this way, transmission of data in 2D-matrix formats by spatially intensity-modulated laser beams at 1550 nm would benefit from low atmospheric attenuation and eye-safe radiation allowing high power levels in long-range and secure communication links. The experimental setup consists of a Nd3+:YVO4 solid state laser inside which the 2D-data modulated beam is mixed with the 1064 nm laser oscillation in a KTP nonlinear crystal. As a result, the infrared information is transferred to the visible spectrum (631 nm) by sum-frequency mixing (SFM) for subsequent detection by a standard CMOS device. As a proof of concept, the upconverted information is collected by the CMOS camera of a conventional smartphone before being decoded and displayed successfully. The data rate per frame is determined by the resolution and field of view provided by the proposed system and the availability of compact devices is ensured by the potential integration capability of the underlying technology.","PeriodicalId":269539,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Workshop on Fiber Optics in Access Networks (FOAN)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130618057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
