  • Abstract
    Using standard single-ended FPGA outputs with 270 mVpp we demonstrate 10GBd OOK and BPSK transmission by directly driving a low-voltage silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) modulator. The scheme does not require electronic driver amplifiers, which paves the way to energy-efficient photonic-electronic integration.
