This talk discusses optical filters and their applications in signal processing and optical communications. Optical filters are key components for bandwidth management, impairments compensation, and optical packet header processing in high-capacity wavelength-division multiplexed networks. The talk will relate different types of optical filters to underlying interference mechanisms and translate digital filter theory concepts to the optical domain. Examples of integrated optical filters for tunable chromatic dispersion compensation and polarization control will be presented. With advances in integrated optics, optical filters can enable a high-speed, cost-effective optical processing engine.

Abstract
The ultimate information capacity of optical fibers is far beyond currently deployed systems even with
the exponential growth in system capacity over the past 20 years. Even now, the performance of
high-capacity, long-distance wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) networks depends significantly
on reconfigurable optical filters for bandwidth management and adaptive filters for compensating
analog impairments. Optical filters are also key elements in optical code generation and detection
with applications in optical packet header processing. Whether the end goal is for communications
or high-speed signal processing, optical filters that can operate on amplitude, phase and polarization
are critical to unleashing the full potential of optical systems. To be practical, a cost-effective
implementation that can scale in optical circuit integration density and functionality is required. This
talk addresses optical filters in the context of their analog and digital relatives. I will show how well-
known filter types are related to the underlying interference mechanisms and how digital filter theory
concepts are beneficially translated to the optical domain. Then, the present capabilities of
integrated optics for implementing adaptive optical filters and an overview of some challenges ahead
will be discussed. Adaptive filters implemented using high-index-contrast silica-on-silicon planar
waveguides with applications to tunable chromatic dispersion compensation and polarization
monitoring, control and polarization mode dispersion compensation will be used as examples. With
state-of-the-art integrated optical filters, we have the ability to realize a many-colored, high-speed
and cost-effective processing engine that truly harnesses the power of photonics.
