Based on four-wave mixing (FWM) with an optical comb source (OCS), we experimentally demonstrate 26-way or 15-way wavelength multicasting of 10-Gb/s differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) data in a highly-nonlinear fiber (HNLF) or a silicon waveguide, respectively. The OCS provides multiple spectrally equidistant pump waves leading to a multitude of FWM products after mixing with the signal. We achieve error-free operation with power penalties less than 5.7 dB for the HNLF and 4.2 dB for the silicon waveguide, respectively.

Optical multicasting, which involves delivering an input signal to multiple different channels simultaneously, is a key function to improve network performance. By exploiting individual spatial modes as independent channels, mode-division-multiplexing (MDM) can solve the capacity crunch of traditional standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) transmission system. In order to realize mode multicasting with high flexibility in future hybrid wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) and MDM networks, we propose a mode multicasting scheme without parasitic wavelength conversion, based on the inter-modal four-wave mixing (FWM) arising in the few-mode fiber (FMF).

- * Researchers successfully demonstrate an optically-assisted method for averaging two 4-phase-encoded data streams at high rates of 10 and 20-Gbaud, resulting in a 7-phase-encoded output.
- * The process involves three key stages: phase encoding with an optical modulator, summation using nonlinear fiber, and multicast through a lithium niobate waveguide, with the final output showing increased error vector magnitudes and optical signal-to-noise ratio penalties.
All-optical canonical logic unit (CLU) is the basic building block of high-speed optical logic operation and complex optical computing. By utilizing the parallelism of optical signals, multichannel multicasting of all-optical CLUs can expand the capacity of the computing system effectively. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate the 40 Gb/s all-optical reconfigurable two-input CLUs generated in seven wavelength channels via four-wave mixing (FWM) in the nonlinearity-enhanced silicon waveguide.

- Ultrahigh-baud-rate optical signals can enhance transmission distances but limit the number of available wavelengths due to their wider bandwidth, complicating configurations in ROADM networks.
- In CDC-ROADM systems, this limitation results in a decreased add/drop ratio at nodes, but multiband systems can address this issue, despite increased complexity.
- The paper presents an analysis of a C + L band CDC-ROADM node utilizing advanced optical switches and proposes reducing the number of optical amplifiers to simplify configuration while maintaining operational effectiveness.
In this Letter, we present a new hybrid broadband-crossbar switching network that can switch multiple wavelengths on demand and can also multicast. This switch fabric is an improvement over our previous design in both switch footprint and power consumption, as it reduces the number of switching elements by approximately 50%. We compare the switch loss and crosstalk with that of a multiwavelength selective crossbar switch.
