Abstract
Two means of high speed optical sampling covering C band and L band based on sum frequency generation (SFG) in chirped periodically poled LiNbO 3 (CPPLN) waveguide are studied in this paper. For the first method, arbitrary waveband inside C and L band can be sampled by tuning pump wavelength and the bandwidth is controllable by choosing suitable waveguide length and chirped coefficient of CPPLN waveguide. For another, the broad bandwidth covering C band and L band can be obtained with a fixed pump. The numerical simulations based on coupled-wave equations are carried out. The NRZ sequences of 10 Gb/s and 640 Gb/s transmission rate are sampled in simulation. Distinct eye diagrams and quality factors (Q) are obtained by software-synchronized algorithm. The results show that the two means of the optical sampling both can cover C band and L band. SFG in CPPLN waveguide used for optical sampling system has a broad bandwidth and more flexible selectivity.
