A 400 Gb/s O-band WDM (8×50 Gb/s) Silicon Photonic Ring Modulator-based Transceiver

Abstract – We present a 400 (8×50) Gb/s-capable RM-based Si-photonic WDM O-band TxRx with 1.17nm channel spacing for high-speed optical interconnects and demonstrate successful 50Gb/s-NRZ TxRx operation achieving a ~4.5dB Tx extinction ratio under 2.15Vpp drive.
