Abstract
Ultra-wideband monocycle pulse generation is experimentally demonstrated on a silicon photonic circuit with a monolithically integrated wavelength-tunable phase-intensity modulation converter and a waveguide germanium photodetector. A fractional bandwidth of 166% is achieved and modulation with a 2.5 Gbit/s test data pattern was demonstrated.
