High speed optical signal processing using photonic reservoir computer, all optical nonlinear thresholder and optical interference cancellation systems
Abstract
Abstract:We are requesting equipments to support development of three main thrusts in our lab. The Arbitrary waveform generator (AWG), Sampling Scope (SC) and real-time scope (RTS) with high speed optical-to-electrical converters will be used to build test setups at Princeton Lightwave Lab to facilitate the rapid development and evaluation of proposed integrated systems in the areas of opticalthresholding, photonic reservoir computing and microwave photonic cancellation. Specifically to test the bandwidth of our optical thresholder , high speed signal generators (PRBS generator for signal contrast application, and AWG for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction application)will be used to emulate the generation the optical signal modulated with single-flux-quantum (SFQ) pulses and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signals. The optical output of the thresholder will be detected via high speed optical-to-electrical converters and fast RTS. To test the functionality of the optical photonic reservoir computer we need a high speed SC and AWGto emulate multiple input weights in the proposed time-division multiplexed (TDM) neurons. Also, system resilience testing of the microwave photonic canceller requires two channel AWG to emulate the signal of inerest and the self-interference and the output measured by a high bandwidth RTS. Using this testing methodology, we would be able to extract information regarding powerhandling capabilities, bit-error rate, and tunability of the proposed system.These equipment will be actively used by multiple faculty members at electrical engineering department of Princeton University, including Alejandro Rodriguez, Prateek Mittal (through collaboration),Claire Gmachl, Gerard Wysocki, Kaushik Sengupta and Craig Arnold (PRISM) groups. These equipments will also be made available for shared research laboratories.
