Abstract

We present a silicon photonic platform offering low loss passive components, integrated highspeed silicon traveling wave MZ modulators (30GHz), ring modulators (45GHz) and inductance peaking Germanium photodetectors (58GHz). The bandwidth of the photonic devices is sufficient to support 50Gb/s bit rate. Our platform is available to the community as part of the OpSIS project.
