ThA1 8:30 AM - 9:30 AM (Tutorial)
Coherent Communication, P. J. Winzer,
Alcatel-Lucent, Holmdel, NJ, USA
We review hardware, digital signal processing,
and networking trade-offs when scaling coherent
transport systems beyond 100-Gb/s per-channel
interface rates and beyond 10-Tb/s fiber capacities
using higher-order modulation formats and
optical superchannels.

Integration of Ultra-Low-Loss Silica

Barbara, CA, USA, J. Gleason, A. Chen,
A. W. Fang, Aurrion, Goleta, CA, USA and
J. E. Bowers, University of California - Santa
Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, USA
We demonstrate an integrated silicon and ultralow-loss
silica waveguide platform. Coupling
between layers is achieved with (0.4±0.2) dB of
loss per transition and a 20 nm 3-dB bandwidth.

Optoelectronic Integration for Broadband
Optical Access Networks, P. Z. Dashti,
C. F. Lam, R. Urata, H. Liu and M. Medin,
Google Inc., Mountain View, CA, USA
In this paper we discuss the emerging enabling
technologies for next generation broadband
optical access networks. These technologies are
discussed in the context of different passive
optical network architectures and the role they
play to alleviate various technical and economic
hurdles.
ThD1 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM (Invited)
Nanophotonics with Nanomembranes,
O. G. Schmidt, IFW Dresden, Dresden, Germany
We exploit the elasticity of inorganic nanomembranes
to electro-elastically tune their
nanophotonic properties and to create rolled-up
optical glass resonators for ultra-compact
optofluidic functionalities.
ThB2 8:45 AM - 9:00 AM
Nonreciprocal Transmission of 10 Gbps
OOK Data through an All-Silicon Passive
Optical Diode, J. Wang, L. Fan, L. Varghese,
Purdue University, West Lafayette, USA, F. Gan,
X. Wang, Chinese Academy of Sciences,
Shanghai, China, J. Wirth, B. Niu, Y. Xuan,
D. E. Leaird, A. M. Weiner and M. Qi, Purdue
University, West Lafayette, IN, USA
An optical diode transmits forward 10Gbps data
with less than 0.5dB power penalty, while
suppressing and distorting backward data with a
11dB nominal power penalty. The nonreciprocal
transmission is also demonstrated with a silicon
modulator.
ThB3 9:00 AM - 9:15 AM
Highly Compact Ultra-low Loss
Polarization Insensitive 1-to-2 Multimode
Interference Splitter, Z. Xiao, F. Luan,

Technological University, Singapore, T.-Y. Liow,
J. Zhang, Institute of Microelectronics, A*STAR,
Singapore and P. Shum, Nanyang Technological
University, Singapore
We experimentally demonstrated a highly
compact 1-to-2 multimode interference splitter to
achieve polarization insensitive ultra-low loss
behavior. The excess loss is 0.112 dB and 0.184
dB for TE and TM mode, respectively.
ThC2 9:00 AM - 9:15 AM
40 Gb/s REAM-based WDM-PON Utilizing
Dicode Encoding and Electrical
Equalization, Q. Guo and A. V. Tran, University
of Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
We propose to apply dicode encoding with
electrical equalization in 40-Gb/s REAM-based
WDM-PON. Rayleigh-backscattering tolerance
and receiver sensitivity at BER of 2×10 -4 are
improved by 6.5 dB and 1.5 dB, respectively,
compared with non-coded NRZ.

USA, S. Fan, Stanford University, Stanford, CA,
USA, Z. Ma, University of Wisconsin-Madison,
Madison, WI, USA and W. Zhou, University of
Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX, USA
We report ultra-compact surface-normal high-Q
filters based on single and double layer stacked
Fano resonance photonic crystal nanomembranes.
Simulated Q increases from 3,000 to
over 30,000 by stacking. Q up to 5,000 was
experimentally demonstrated.

On-chip Mode Multiplexer Based on a
Single Grating Coupler, Y. Ding, H. Ou,
J. Xu, Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby,

Science and Technology, Wuhan, Hubei, China
and C. Peucheret, Technical University of
Denmark, Lyngby, Denmark
A two-mode multiplexer based on a single
grating coupler is proposed and demonstrated
on a silicon chip. The LP 01 and LP 11 modes of a
few-mode fiber are excited from TE 0 and TE 1
silicon waveguide modes.
