Abstract :
A silicon photonic waveguide system with mode-division and wavelength-division-multiplexing capabilities is demonstrated. Error-free (BER <; 10-12) data transmission of 2 modal channels and 3wavelengths operating with aggregate bandwidth of 60-Gb/s is realized. This work motivates future bandwidth scalability of silicon photonic interconnects.
