High speed silicon Mach-Zehnder modulator.
We demonstrate a silicon modulator with an intrinsic bandwidth of 10 GHz and data transmission from 6 Gbps to 10 Gbps. Such unprecedented bandwidth performance in silicon is achieved through improvements in material quality, device design, and driver circuitry.
متن کاملHigh-Speed, Low-Driving-Voltage Dual-Drive InP-Based Mach-Zehnder Modulator
We present a dual traveling-wave electrode InP-based Mach-Zehnder (MZ) modulator with an n-i-n waveguide structure. An electrical input/output interface placed on one side of the chip helps us to drive the modulator in a push-pull configuration. This configuration provides the modulator with great advantages such as reduced driving voltage amplitude, chirp-free operation, and the ability to sup...
متن کاملHigh-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 کاملHigh-speed carrier-depletion silicon Mach-Zehnder optical modulators with lateral PN junctions
*Correspondence: Graham T. Reed, Optoelectronic Research Centre, University of Southampton, Mountbatten Building, Highfield, Southampton, Hampshire SO17 1BJ, UK e-mail: [email protected] This paper presents new experimental data from a lateral PN junction silicon Mach-Zehnder optical modulator. Efficiencies in the 1.4 to 1.9 V/cm range are demonstrated for drive voltages between 0 V and 6 V. H...
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.
