Abstract :
We review recent progress made on the hybrid silicon platform towards realizing an integrated WDM transmitter on silicon. Using ion implantation enhanced quantum well intermixing, four band gaps are integrated on a single chip and used to demonstrate a DFB laser-EAM array. The latest results on design changes to improve Mach-Zender and EA modulator performance are also described and the prospects for fabricating an integrated terabit per second transmitter on silicon are presented.
