Abstract :
A silicon photonic optical serial-to-parallel converter (OSPC) with phase operation consisting of Mach-Zehnder delay interferometers (MZDIs) with 1 to 8-bit delay lengths has been fabricated for 8bit processing at 40 Gbps. Preliminary results of the OSPC operation have been successfully obtained.
