  • Abstract
    We demonstrate BPSK modulation using a silicon traveling-wave modulator at data rate up to 48 Gb/s, with 7.4 Vpp differential RF driving voltage. The performance of the silicon BPSK modulator is compared with a commercial Lithium Niobate phase modulator, showing better dispersion tolerance.
