Abstract :
We transmit 1.28-Tb/s wavelength-parallel optical data through a 4.3-cm long low-loss Si3N4 nanowire, comprising 32 40-Gb/s wavelength channels. We confirm error-free transmission and show negligible crosstalk, validating this medium for high-performance silicon photonic interconnection networks.
