Abstract

In this paper, we design an all-optical Pseudo Random Binary Sequence (PRBS) generator in parallel configuration for operating rate multiplication purposes. The sequential circuit comprises of several clocked D flip-flops, XOR gates and multiplexers implemented using microring resonator (MRR)-based switches. The proposed design is demonstrated and validated through simulations for 500 Gb/s and 400 Gb/s rate doubling and quadrupling, respectively, of a 5-bit degree PRBS. The MRR critical operating parameters are also optimized against performance metrics through numerical investigation.
