PhD candidate of ECE NTUA (PCRL) wins best student paper award
PhD candidate Vasilis Katopodis of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of NTUA was honoured with the single best student paper award at Conference: SPIE West 2018 – Optical Communications: Devices to Systems, Conference 10561 – Next-Generation Optical Communication: Components, Sub-Systems, and Systems VII, for the outstanding paper on:
Optical terabit transmitter and receiver based on passive polymer and InP technology for high-speed optical connectivity between datacenters
Paper 10561-6
presented at 30 January 2018 • 9:45 – 10:00 AM, in San Fransisco, California, USA
Abstract: A hybridly integrated multi-format transmitter and coherent receiver based on passive polymers and InP photonics and electronics are presented. The transmitter is capable of selective mQAM modulation using two integrated 3-bit power DACs for driving an array of two InP Mach Zehnder modulators assisted by a passive polymer platform for guiding the optical light on chip and for combining the In-phase and Quadrature-phase components of the modulated signal output. The coherent receiver comprises an optical hybrid front-end and a quad InP photodiode array followed by a high speed InP-DHBT TIA pair. Their transmission performance is experimentally evaluated up to 25Gbaud.
