224-Gb/s PDM-16-QAM Modulator and Receiver based on Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuits
17 June 2013
We demonstrate a coherent modulator and a receiver based on monolithically integrated silicon photonic circuits operating at 224 Gb/s utilizing polarization-division-multiplexed 16-QAM. The high-degree photonic integration enables small-form-factor and low power transceivers for future coherent systems.
