Abstract:
We present a disk modulator with 5.4 THz free spectral range (FSR), 19.5 GHz bandwidth, and 55 pm/V modulation efficiency, targeting high-channel-count low-power DWDM optical links. We demonstrate 40 Gb/s NRZ operation with 0.8 V(pp) voltage swing, and a thermal tuning efficiency of 60 GHz/mW.
