Monolithic InP-based Dual Polarization QPSK Integrated Receiver and Transmitter for CoHerent 100-400Gb Ethernet. (MIRTHE)

This project targets new multilevel-modulation all-monolithic integrated TX and RX Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) able to achieve 100-400 Gb/s aggregated speed on a single wavelength.

This project targets new multilevel-modulation all-monolithic integrated TX and RX Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) able to achieve 100-400 Gb/s aggregated speed on a single wavelength.

Two main technical tasks will be carried out along the project, both within WP2 "Receiver": - Supporting HHI activities towards consecution of an integrated polarization diversity receiver. Specifically UMA will be in-charge of simulation and design of passive waveguide devices for polarization diversity and phase diversity in the receiver. - Developing novel advanced receiver architectures based in six(five)-port concepts similar to those used at microwave/millimeter wave frequencies. Another task for UMA will be the management of the Dissemination of MIRTHE results in WP5.

Demonstration and mastering of a monolithic integration technology of InP-based TX and RX chips suitable for handling QPSK-type modulation formats for 100Gb/s transmission, Demonstration of a future-proof approach by enhancing the bit rate to 200 Gb/s and providing concepts up to 400 Gb/s on a single fiber and wavelength, Module packaging of the TX and RX PICs with driving electronics, Demonstration of PIC to PIC transmission at 100 and 200 Gb/s, Simulations at the device and system levels to identify capabilities and limitations and to contribute to specifications.

Monolithic integration of RX and TX with novel vector Electro-Absorption-Modulators and phase diversity networks, should bring a significant breakthrough in cost, size and consumption of Terabit components for the future Internet.
