Single-Chip Silicon Photonics 100-Gb/s Coherent Transceiver

Abstract

We demonstrate a monolithic silicon photonics integrated circuit that contains all the optics for a 100-Gb/s coherent transceiver, except the laser. Co-packaged with linear drivers and transimpedance amplifiers, the 27 × 35.5 mm2 module consumes only 4.5W.
