This paper talks about the developments in silicon photonic devices which exploit the inherent high refractive index contrasts achievable on an SOI platform. We will focus on the optical modulator which has been designed for speeds up to 40Gbps. We will also describe the design and performance of a photonic integrated transmitter chip, which has been demonstrated to transmit at an aggregate data rate of 200Gbps.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
