Abstract
En 中文
In this paper, we propose and experimentally demonstrate an integrated optical device that can implement the logical function of priority encoding from a 4-bit electrical signal to a 2-bit optical signal. For the proof of concept, the thermo-optic modulation scheme is adopted to tune each micro-ring resonator (MRR). A monochromatic light with the working wavelength is coupled into the input port of the device through a lensed fiber, and the four input electrical logic signals regarded as pending encode signals are applied to the micro-heaters above four MRRs to control the working states of the optical switches. The encoding results are directed to the output ports in the form of light. At last, the logical function of priority encoding with an operation speed of 10 Kbps is demonstrated successfully.
