Abstract

We numerically demonstrate the phase regeneration of eight-phase-shift keying (8PSK) in an organic–Ge hybrid waveguide with ${10\,\,\unicode{x00B5}{\rm m}}$ length. Through filling graphene oxide with a high Kerr coefficient and engineering of waveguide dimensions, an ultrahigh nonlinear coefficient with ${5}{\rm .86} \times {{10}^{6}}\,\,{{\rm W}^{- {1}}}\,{{\rm m}^{- {1}}}$ is attained at 1550 nm. The phase regeneration of 8PSK signal is achieved by using phase-sensitive amplification of the dual-conjugated-pump degenerate four-wave mixing scheme. The error-vector magnitude (EVM), optical signal-to-noise ratio, as well as constellation diagrams of 8PSK signal are also used to evaluate the phase regeneration capacity quantitatively. A reduction of EVM from 39.25% to 1.34% for 8PSK signal is found. The results show great phase regeneration and noise-squeezing ability, which indicate that such a phase-sensitive amplifier of a waveguide can find critical promising applications in all-optical signal processing.
