چکیده
We demonstrate a Linearized Ring Assisted Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (L-RAMZI) modulator in a miniature silicon device. We measure a record high degree of linearization for a silicon device, with a Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) of 106dB/Hz²/³ at 1GHz, and 99dB/Hz²/³ at 10GHz.

Ultralinear heterogeneously integrated ring-assisted Mach–Zehnder interferometer modulator on silicon
A linear modulator is indispensable for radio frequency photonics or analog photonic link applications where high dynamic range is required. There is also great interest to integrate the modulator with other photonic components, to create a photonic integrated circuit for these applications, with particular focus on silicon photonics integration in order to take advantage of complementary metal...

Due to the increasing growth of processing cores in complex computational systems, all the connection converted bottleneck for all systems. With the protection of progressing and constructing complex photonic connection on chip, optical data transmission is the best choice for replacing with electrical interconnection for the reason of gathering connection with a high bandwidth and insertion lo...
متن کاملBroadband linearized silicon modulator.
A scheme to achieve a wideband linearized silicon Mach-Zehnder (MZ) modulator is proposed. The modulator consists of a single MZ interferometer with identical reverse-biased silicon diode phase shifters in both arms, driven in a push-pull configuration. It is shown that the 3rd order nonlinearity of the modulator can be eliminated by canceling the nonlinearities from the silicon phase shifters ...

متن کاملHigh speed hybrid silicon evanescent Mach-Zehnder modulator and switch.
We demonstrate the first high speed silicon evanescent Mach Zehnder modulator and switch. The modulator utilizes carrier depletion within AlGaInAs quantum wells to obtain V(pi) L of 2 V-mm and clear open eye at 10 Gb/s. The switch exhibits a power penalty of 0.5 dB for all ports at 10 Gb/s modulation.
