A WDM 4x28Gbps 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.
