All-Optical Simultaneous Frequency Metamorphose Contingent on a Three Parallel SOA-MZIs Copula

Abstract

In this treatise, we develop a standard modulation design to consummate concomitant frequency up mixing dependent on the three parallel SOA-MZIs by employing a sampling arrangement in Virtual Photonics Inc. (VPI) software. Each SOA-MZI is used to acquire a frequency output sampled signal at higher frequencies. Then, the amalgamation of these three mixed signals leads to a simultaneous up-conversion procedure. The peak and positive conversion gains (CGs) are compassed with the SOA-MZIs connected in parallel for frequency mixing for higher frequencies of data signals from 0.5 to 98 GHz, 1 to 98.5 GHz, and 1.5 to 99 GHz, concurrently, which are in connection with the control signal at the frequency of the fifth harmonic. Moreover, we assess the worth of the performance characterizations of the mixing system using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) complex modulated signals. This novel three parallel SOA-MZIs system is completed for the first time in order to achieve frequency transformation to higher frequencies. The numerically calculated CG, error vector magnitude (EVM), and bit error rate (BER) values are in exceptional concurrence with those procured through the VPI simulator. The upper bit rate that concurs the forward error correction (FEC) confines is 2 Gbit/s for OFDM modulations. The three parallel SOA-MZIs setup leads to well-recognized results and it is deemed as a superb system due to its good achievement. Subsequently, this system is analyzed in order to contrast with our previous systems based on a signal SOA-MZI and a cascaded SOA-MZIs link. Furthermore, this comparison shows that the three parallel SOA-MZIs system has perfect efficiency and quality.
