Abstract :
We present a multi-channel transmitter that employs an arrayed reflective electroabsorption modulator-based photonic integrated circuit and low-power driver array. Error-free 11.3-Gb/s per channel performance is achieved over 96 km of SSMF, with negligible crosstalk (<;1-dB penalty) in multi-channel operation.
