Abstract
A 4*4 planar array of MQW surface modulators driven by standard high-speed CMOS has been demonstrated in an experimental parallel-interconnect system. Transition times were fast enough for 100 Mbit/s operation and the potential exists to increase array dimensions to include hundreds of devices and transmission rates to many Gbit/s.
