Abstract :
We demonstrate an integrated transmitter that can generate two 100-Gb/s optical channels with simple nonreturn-to-zero-ON-OFF keying format. The transmitter is based on the combination of an ultrafast electro-optic polymer platform for the photonic integration and the optical modulation with ultrafast InP-double heterojunction bipolar transistor electronics for the multiplexing and the amplification of the 100-Gb/s driving signals. Through error-free transmission of 2 × 80-Gb/s signals over 1 km of SMF and transmission of 2 × 100-Gb/s signals over 500 m of single-mode fiber with error performance way below the forward error correction limit, we reveal the potential of the approach for parallel 100-GbE optical interfaces in small footprint transceivers for intradata center networks.
