We experimentally demonstrate simultaneous all-optical regeneration of two 160-Gbit/s wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) channels in a single highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF). The multi-channel regeneration performance is confirmed by bit-error rate (BER) measurements. The receiver powers at a BER of 10(-9) are improved by about 4.9 dB and 2.1 dB for the two channels, respectively. The BER performance is not degraded by the presence of a second channel. Mitigation of the inter-channel nonlinearities is achieved through bidirectional propagation.

In this paper, the theoretical model of spontaneous Raman scattering (SpRS) in few-mode fiber (FMF) is discussed. The influence of SpRS on quantum key distribution (QKD) in FMF is evaluated by combining wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and space division multiplexing (SDM) techniques. On this basis, an improved ring-assisted FMF is designed and characterized; the transmission distance can be increased by up to 54.

Silicon photonics with the advantages of low power consumption and low fabrication cost is a crucial technology for facilitating high-capacity optical communications and interconnects. The graphene photodetectors (GPDs) featuring broadband operation, high speed, and low integration cost can be good additions to the SiGe photodetectors, supporting high-speed photodetection in wavelength bands beyond 1.6 μm on silicon.

Article Synopsis
- A new twelve-channel local-area-network (LAN) wavelength-division multiplexing (LWDM) filter has been successfully developed using lithium-niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) photonic waveguides with a channel spacing of 4.5 nm in the O-band (1270-1330 nm).
- The LWDM filter includes twelve single-channel bandpass filters utilizing multimode waveguide gratings with a TE/TE mode (de)multiplexer, featuring two stages of MWGs for improved performance.
- The device displays excellent spectral responses with low excess losses (~0.6 dB), broad bandwidths (2.9-3.4 nm), and ultra-low interchannel crosstalk (

Silicon-based optical switches are integral to on-chip optical interconnects, and mode-division multiplexing (MDM) technology has enabled modes to function as carriers in routing, further boosting optical switches' link capacity. However, traditional multimode optical switches, which typically use Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) structures and mode (de)multiplexers, are complex and occupy significant physical space. In this paper, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel demultiplexing-free dual-mode 3 × 3 thermal-optical switch based on micro-rings (MRs) and mode exchangers (MEs).

In this work, four-channel wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) uplink/downlink twin single-sideband (twin-SSB) signals are implemented by a wavelength selective switch (WSS) at once, which simplifies the structure of multi-channel SSB transmitters and reduces the cost of high-capacity optical interconnect. Compared to a double sideband scheme, it has been experimentally proven that the performance of SSB transmission over standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) at C-band with an ultra-high baud rate has been greatly improved, which has the ability to effectively overcome the power fading induced by chromatic dispersion in an intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) system.
