Fibre optics and optical communications articles from across Nature Portfolio

Fibre optics and optical communications is the use of thin strands of glass for sending information encoded into light over long distances. Total internal reflection prevents light inserted into one end of the fibre from escaping through the sides. Transferring information optically in this way enables much higher transmission rates than using an electrical signal.

Parallel wavelength-division-multiplexed signal transmission and dispersion compensation enabled by soliton microcombs and microrings

The authors present a scalable on-chip parallel intensity modulation and direct detection (IM-DD) data transmission system. This system offers an aggregate line rate of 1.68 Tbit/s over a 20-km-long SMF. For the chromatic dispersion compensation of 40-km-SMFs, the energy consumption is ~0.3 pJ/bit, much less than the commercial 400G-ZR coherent transceivers counterparts.

The concept of guided lightwave communication along optical fibers has stimulated a major new technology over the past two decades. This technology profoundly impacts communication and instrumentation systems as well as computer interconnections and system architecture.

In this paper the state of the art of optical transmitters, low loss fiber waveguides, receivers and associated electronics components are reviewed and summarized for optical data transmission systems operating between 100 Mbit/s and 2.5 Gbit/s. Emphasis is placed on high speed data transmission subassemblies, such as time division multiplexers and demultiplexers, clock and data recovery circuits, as well as optical transmitters and receivers. In addition, the performance of candidate components of the wide band digital transmission systems intended for deployment in large detection systems for particle physics is discussed.
