Integration of resonators impacts the utilization of the 3-µm-thick silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform in photonics integrated circuits (PICs). We propose an integrated resonator leveraging a deep-etch silicon waveguide. Through the utilization of a tunable coupler based on multimode interferometers (MMIs), the resonator achieves high fabrication tolerance and reconfigurability. In a critical-coupling state, it serves as a filter with an extinction ratio (ER) of 23.5 dB and quality () factor of 3.1×10, operating within the range of 1530-1570 nm. In an extreme over-coupling state, it functions as a large-bandwidth delay line, offering continuous change in delay time of 22 ps, nearly wavelength-independent. This work provides devices to the 3-µm-thick silicon photonics device library, enriching the potential applications of this technology platform.

Electromagnetic spaces face growing threats from both naturally occurring and artificial electromagnetic pulses; however, the current protection methodologies are still far from practical needs. To address this issue, we propose an electromagnetic protection strategy that makes use of an adaptive energy selective mechanism. This strategy, carried out using electromagnetic metamaterials, provides in-band protection to electronic equipment with a high tolerance threshold and fast response.

Optical frequency combs consist of equally spaced discrete optical frequency components and are essential tools for optical communication, precision metrology, timing and spectroscopy. At present, combs with wide spectra are usually generated by mode-locked lasers or dispersion-engineered resonators with third-order Kerr nonlinearity. An alternative method of comb production uses electro-optic (EO) phase modulation in a resonator with strong second-order nonlinearity, resulting in combs with excellent stability and controllability.

We experimentally demonstrate a highly filtering-tolerant multi-modulus equalization (MMEQ) process for very aggressively spectrum-shaped 9-ary quadrature-amplitude-modulation (9-QAM)-like polarization division multiplexing quadrature phase shift keying (PDM-QPSK) signal to achieve 400-Gb/s wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) channels on the 100-GHz grid for ultra-long-haul reach and high tolerance of the filter narrowing effect caused by reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (ROADMs). We successfully transmitted 8 channels 480-Gb/s super-Nyquist (channel occupancy much less than signal baud rate) WDM signals at 100-GHz grid over 25 × 200 km conventional single-mode fiber-28 (SMF-28) with post Raman amplification and 25 ROADMs at a net spectral efficiency (SE) of 4b/s/Hz, after excluding the 20% soft-decision forward-error-correction (FEC) overhead. The system performance is significantly enhanced by the MMEQ based on 9-QAM-like constellations compared to the conventional 4 point QPSK constellation.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a hardware-efficient, feed-forward, wide-range frequency offset estimator for DSP-based optical coherent receivers. Using a simple relationship of signal spectrum, this estimator is capable to estimate offsets in a range compliant with OIF requirements. Obtained results show that this estimator has a high tolerance to spectrum asymmetry caused by electrical and optical signal filtering, even when using return-to-zero pulse shaping.
