  • Abstract
    We analyze the impact of nonlinear InP-based and Silicon-based phase shifters on Mach Zehnder modulator chirp. To identify performance limits, we compare state-of-the-art InP modulators with existing and numerically optimized Silicon modulators. We show that similar performance characteristics can be expected for both technologies.
