Celebrating the 20^ th anniversary of Optics Express, this paper reviews the evolution of
optical fiber communication systems, and through a look at the previous 20 years attempts to …

In order to overcome the capacity limitations of current lightwave systems based on the
single-mode optical fiber, massively parallel transmission in the spatial domain [space …

Based on a variety of long-term network traffic data from different geographies and
applications, in addition to long-term scaling trends of key information and communication …

The tremendous growth of data traffic has spurred a rapid evolution of optical
communications for a higher data transmission capacity. Next-generation fiber-optic …

We present and experimentally demonstrate a silicon photonic (SiP)-based four-lane 400
Gb/s transmitter for fiber-rich intra-datacenter optical interconnects. Four parallel SiP series …

This chapter presents a unified view of all possible optical network capacity scalability
options known today, with a focus on their techno-economics. General Shannon capacity …

In order to meet the constantly rising traffic demands in optical transport systems for data and
telecommunications, compact, power efficient, and low-cost optical transmitters are needed …

Optical twin-single sideband (Twin-SSB) modulation, due to the left sideband (LSB) and
right sideband (RSB) signal carrying individual data, has become an attractive technique in …

Dense integration of electro-optic (EO) devices in photonic integrated circuits (PICs) is
critical to achieve high-capacity, compact and low-cost transceiver modules, and fulfill the …

High-density integration of electro-optic (EO) elements in photonic integrated circuits (PICs)
