A WDM 4×28Gbps Integrated Silicon Photonic Transmitter driven by 32nm CMOS driver ICs

Abstract

A four-channel WDM silicon photonic transmitter with integrated lasers and modulators driven by low-power 32nm CMOS drivers, is demonstrated to operate at a data rate of 4×28Gb/s with BER<10−12 and power consumption of 10.0pJ/bit.
