Abstract :
We experimentally characterize the intermodulation crosstalk incurred by wavelength-parallel optical signals using a silicon microring resonator electro-optic modulator. We measure corresponding bit-error-rates and record eye diagrams, observing signal integrity degradation for varying wavelength channel spacing.
