چکیده
We present two SiP modulator architectures for PAM-4 signal generation. We demonstrate the transmission of 56 Gbaud PAM-4 over 1 km of SMF. An 84 Gbaud PAM-4 generation below KP4 FEC threshold is also achieved. OCIS codes: (130.0130); (230.2090); (230.4110);

Experimental parametric study of 128 Gb/s PAM-4 transmission system using a multi-electrode silicon photonic Mach Zehnder modulator.
We present an experimental study and analysis of a travelling wave series push-pull silicon photonic multi-electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator (ME-MZM) and compare its performance with a single-electrode travelling wave Mach-Zehnder modulator (TWMZM). Utilizing the functionality of the ME-MZM structure plus digital-signal-processing, we report: 1) the C-band transmission of 84 Gb/s OOK modulated d...

We provide an overview of techniques for the photonic generation of arbitrary RF waveforms, particularly those suitable for impulse radio or multi-band ultrawideband (UWB)-over-fiber transmission, and chirped microwave waveforms, with an emphasis on microwave photonic filtering and optical spectral shaping followed by wavelength-to-time mapping. We discuss possibilities for integrating the vari...
متن کاملTime-Mode Signal Quantization for Use in Sigma-Delta Modulators
The rapid scaling in modern CMOS technology has motivated the researchers to design new analog-to-digital converter (ADC) architectures that can properly work in lower supply voltage. An exchanging the data quantization procedure from the amplitude to the time domain, can be a promising alternative well adapt with the technology scaling. This paper is going to review the recent development in t...
متن کاملCharacterization of Silicon Mach-Zehnder Modulator in 20-Gbps NRZ-BPSK Transmission
20-Gbps non return-to-zero (NRZ) — binary phase shift keying (BPSK) using the silicon Mach-Zehnder modulator is demonstrated and characterized. Measurement of a constellation diagram confirms successful modulation of 20-Gbps BPSK with the silicon modulator. Transmission performance is characterized in the measurement of bit-error-rate in accumulated dispersion range from −347 ps/nm to +334 ps/n...
