High-speed low-chirp PAM-4 transmission based on push-pull silicon photonic microring modulators.
We report a silicon photonic modulator based on the use of dual parallel microring modulators (MRMs) inserted in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). It is operated in a push-pull configuration for low-chirp transmission at approximately 1550 nm. The chirp parameters of the device are measured using 10 Gb/s on-off keying (OOK) transmission over 20 km of standard single mode fiber (SSMF), and th...
متن کاملSilicon Plasmon Modulators: Breaking Photonic Limits
Emerging communication applications anticipate a photonic roadmap leading to ultra-compact photonic integrated circuits. The objective is to design integrated on-chip electro-optic modulators EOMs that can combine both high modulation efficiency and low switching energy. While silicon-based EOMs have been demonstrated, they have large device footprints of the order of millimeters as a result of...
متن کاملSilicon Modulators Based on Photonic Crystal Waveguides
Ultra-compact silicon-photonic-crystal-waveguide-based thermo-optic and electro-optical Mach-Zehnder interferometers have been proposed and fabricated. Thermal and electrical simulations and optical characterizations have been performed. Experimental results were in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.
متن کاملSegmented silicon MZM for PAM-8 transmissions at 114 Gb/s with binary signaling.
We experimentally demonstrate PAM-8 generation from binary electrical signals driving a silicon multi-electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator acting as an optical digital-to-analog converter. Measured BER in back-to-back configuration is used to evaluate signal quality. We demonstrate 38 GBd PAM-8 transmission below the forward error correction (FEC) threshold using minimum mean square error (MMSE) eq...
متن کامل10 Gb/s operation of photonic crystal silicon optical modulators.
We report the first experimental demonstration of 10 Gb/s modulation in a photonic crystal silicon optical modulator. The device consists of a 200 μm-long SiO2-clad photonic crystal waveguide, with an embedded p-n junction, incorporated into an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The device is integrated on a SOI chip and fabricated by CMOS-compatible processes. With the bias voltage set at...
