چکیده
A series-push-pull Mach–Zehnder modulator is integrated with a sampled-grating distributed Bragg reflector laser on a dual-quantum-well integration platform. The device exhibited greater than 7.8-dB extinction at 40 Gb/s with a 2.5-V drive voltage across a wavelength range of 1541–1566 nm. Bit-error-rate measurements at 10 Gb/s showed error-free operation and negative chirp.

High-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...

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 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...

We demonstrated all-optical demultiplexing of 160-Gb/s signal to 40and 80-Gb/s by a Mach-Zehnder Interferometric all-optical switch, where the picosecond cross-phase modulation (XPM) induced by intersubband excitation in InGaAs/AlAsSb coupled double quantum wells is utilized. A bi-directional pump configuration, i.e., two control pulses are injected from both sides of a waveguide chip simultane...

This paper reports on theoretically investigated transmission performance depending on the chirping and extinction ratio for a 1550 nm, 10Gb/s transmissions system with the standard single mode fiber. The transmission performance can be improved by adjusting chirp and extinction ratio in a Ti:LiNbO3 modulator-based transmitter and erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA)-PIN receiver configuration.
