Performance Analysis of a Multi-Function Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Based Photonic Architecture on SOI Acting as a Frequency Shifter

A photonic frequency shifter based on generalized Mach-Zehnder interferometer (GMZI) architecture is presented and experimentally validated. The circuit consists of four Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZM) in a 4 × 4 network bounded by two 4 × 4 multimode interference couplers and functionally equivalent...
