Abstract
The performance of microphotonic-silicon devices in a geographically-distributed optical fiber network is experimentally investigated. Two different devices are tested: an optical filter based on a silicon ring resonator and an all-optical wavelength converter based on four-wave mixing in a dispersion-tailored highly nonlinear silicon waveguide. The evaluation of the devices is performed by means of eye diagrams and measurements of the bit error rate. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
