In this letter, we present an integrated solution for bidirectional WDM optical interconnection based on semiconductor optical amplifiers and nonreciprocal micro-ring resonators in Si3N4/Ce:YIG. The circuit performance has been numerically evaluated, demonstrating a reduction of crosstalk and back-reflection of for a 10-channel 100-GHz-spaced WDM bidirectional active optical interconnect. Although a silicon-nitride platform has been considered, the proposed solution can be effective also on a silicon platform, where back-scattering induced by the waveguide roughness is much stronger.

Abstract
In this letter, we present an integrated solution for bidirectional WDM optical interconnection based on semiconductor optical amplifiers and nonreciprocal micro-ring resonators in Si3N4/Ce:YIG. The circuit performance has been numerically evaluated, demonstrating a reduction of crosstalk and back-reflection of for a 10-channel 100-GHz-spaced WDM bidirectional active optical interconnect. Although a silicon-nitride platform has been considered, the proposed solution can be effective also on a silicon platform, where back-scattering induced by the waveguide roughness is much stronger.File in questo prodotto:
