Abstract

We demonstrate 140 Gbaud intensity modulated direct detection dispersion-uncompensated links with Mach Zehnder modulator and distributed feedback travelling-wave electro-absorption modulator over 5500 and 960 meters of standard single mode fibre, respectively, enabled by compact packaged ultra-high speed InP-based 2:1-Selector.

We demonstrate the first real-time, serial 100Gb/s NRZ-OOK transmission with an integrated GeSi EAM implemented on a silicon photonics platform. Transmission over 500m of SSMF and 2 km of dispersion shifted fiber is presented.

An integrated selector-driver is designed for 100 Gbit/s operation and fabricated using 0.7 mum InP double-heterojunction bipolar transistor (DHBT) technology. The driver has a lumped architecture and operates in differential mode. Two complementary signals each with 2.7 V amplitude (3.2 V<sub>pp</sub>) have been measured at 100 Gbit/s.

We demonstrate integrated lithium niobate electro-optic modulators with up to 100-GHz electro-optic bandwidth and Vπ as low as 1.4 V. We show 70 GBaud and 100 GBaud m-ASK modulation with the fabricated modulator.
Conference Paper
We demonstrate an on-off keyed transmitter with direct detection, at record symbol rates of 204Gbaud and 140Gbaud, over 10km and 80km, respectively, powered by a high-speed InP-based 2:1 selector and travelling-wave electro-absorption laser-modulator.
Article
We demonstrate 100 GBd operation of an optical transmitter module including a distributed feedback laser monolithically integrated with a Mach-Zehnder modulator (DFB-MZM), to the best of our knowledge for the first time. Combining high-speed optics and electronics with digital signal processing (DSP), different schemes for intensity modulation and direct detection at 100, 200, and 300 Gbit/s are analyzed, using electrical signals from a 100 GSa/s BiCMOS DAC. Due to close-to-zero transmitter chirp, 100 Gbit/s NRZ transmission over 1.8 km and 200 Gbit/s PAM4 transmission over 1.2 km at 1550 nm with a bit error rate (BER) below the 7% overhead forward error correction (FEC) threshold (3.8 × 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-3</sup> ) is achieved. At 200 Gbit/s PAM4, the DFB-MZM module consumes only 0.85 pJ/bit, making it a promising device for attractive dual-lane 400 Gbit/s systems. We also achieve 300 Gbit/s PAM8 transmission over 1.2 km with a BER below the 20% overhead FEC threshold (1.9 × 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-2</sup> ) by implementing advanced DSP based on a pattern-dependent lookup table to mitigate the electrical and optical device bandwidth limitations.
Conference Paper
We demonstrate, for the first time with a DFB-MZM at 1550 nm, 100-GBd NRZ and PAM4 transmission over up to 1.2 km due to close-to-zero chirp. At 100-GBd PAM4, the DFB-MZM consumed only 0.85 pJ/bit.
Article
We report on a 116 Gbps on-off keying (OOK), 4 pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) and 105 Gbps 8PAM optical transmitter using an InP-based integrated and packaged externally modulated laser for high speed optical interconnects with up to 30 dB static extinction ratio and over 100 GHz 3 dB bandwidth with 2 dB ripple. In addition, we study the trade-off between power penalty and equalizer length to foresee transmission distances with standard single mode fiber.
Article
We report on an ultra-high-speed PAM-based IM/DD optical subsystem featuring compact signal generation and tractable digital-processing complexity. The proposed transceiver is based on two main technologies: an InP DHBT selector power DAC for electrical signal generation, and a complexity-optimized receiver processing chain. We show how the complexity of the feed-forward equalizer can be considerably reduced by stacking a <3-symbol memory sequence estimator. Finally, we experimentally demonstrate successful signal recovery for 107-GBd PAM-4 in back-to-back configuration, and after 500 m and 1 km of transmission over standard single-mode fiber for 100- and 84-GBd PAM-4 configuration respectively. A power-budget margin above 2 dB is attained in all cases.

A 120-GBd polarization multiplexed NRZ (PM-NRZ) signal is generated using a monolithic double side electro-absorption modulated distributed feedback (DFB) laser. Using a pre-amplified direct detection receiver and direct detection faster than Nyquist technique, the optical receiver sensitivities of-18.3 and-13.5 dBm are obtained for a 240-Gb/s (a net data rate of 200 Gb/s with 20% soft-decision forward error correction) PM-NRZ signal at back-to-back and after 2-km transmission, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest baud rate transmission reported to date for single channel polarization multiplexed signal generated by a single device for short reach applications and the longest transmission distance (2 km) at baud-rate >100 GBd IM/DD system without CD compensation at 1.55 μm.

A monolithically integrated distributed feedback (DFB) laser and traveling-wave electro-absorption modulator (TWEAM) with ges 100 GHz -3 dBe bandwidth suitable for Non-return-to-zero (NRZ) operation with on-off keying (OOK) is presented. The steady-state, small-signal modulation response, microwave reflection, chirp characteristic, and both data operation and transmission were investigated. The DFB-TWEAM was found to be an attractive candidate for future short distance communication in high bitrates systems.

The module achieved a gain of 16 dB and a 3 dB bandwidth of 110 GHz. Clearly open 100 and 112 Gbit/s 2<sup>31</sup> - 1 non-return-to-zero pseudorandom bit sequence eye diagrams with an output voltage swing of 2.2 V<sub>pp</sub> have been measured.
