This study presents the design and simulation of an integrated multi-carrier optical source with a 227 GHz bandwidth for passive optical network (PON) applications. The optical comb generation attained using a photonic structure known as a micro-ring resonator fabricated in silicon nitride (Si3N4) facilitates cost reduction when produced on a large scale. Additionally, the generated optical comb accomplishes non-uniform tones in terms of the optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), which allows for the dynamic assignment of carriers to retainable customers as a function of the data rate and transmission distance requirements. The design and simulation demonstrate the generation of frequency combs with optical carriers in a range of 5-40 tones, an OSNR range of 20-80 dB, and a free spectral range (FSR) of 50-3 610 GHz. To achieve these features, a geometric design of the device is proposed, and its response to variations of input laser parameters is described. In summary, the device uses two optical micro-resonators with radii of 100 and 450 µm and controls the power and the tuning of laser parameters. The proposed method allows generating a deterministic and reliable path to the frequency combs. Finally, the characteristics of the obtained combs are tested to determine their potential use in PON transmissions.

Este trabajo presenta el diseño y simulación de una fuente óptica multiportadora integrada con un ancho de banda de 227 GHz para aplicaciones en redes ópticas pasivas (PON). La generación de peine óptico, que se logra utilizando una estructura fotónica conocida como microresonador óptico fabricada en nitruro de silicio (Si3N4), facilita la reducción de costos cuando se produce a gran escala. Además, el peine óptico generado logra tonos no uniformes en términos de la relación señal óptica a ruido (OSNR), lo que permite la asignación dinámica de portadoras a clientes retenibles en función de los requisitos de velocidad de datos y distancia de transmisión. El diseño y la simulación demuestran la generación de peines de frecuencia con portadoras ópticas con un rango de 5-40 tonos, un rango OSNR de 20-80 dB y un rango espectral libre (FSR) de 50-3 610 GHz. Para lograr estas características, se propone el diseño geométrico del dispositivo y se caracteriza su respuesta ante la variación de los parámetros del láser de entrada. En resumen, el dispositivo utiliza dos microresonadores ópticos con radios de 100 y 450 µm y controla la potencia y la sintonización del láser. El método propuesto permite obtener una ruta determinista y confiable a los peines de frecuencia. Finalmente, se evalúan las características de los peines obtenidos para determinar su potencial uso en las transmisiones con PONs.
