Demonstration of error free operation up to 32 Gb/s from a CMOS integrated monolithic nano-photonic transmitter

Abstract

We present a monolithic CMOS Integrated Nano Photonic transmitter with a link sensitivity comparable to a 25 Gb/s commercial reference transmitter, exhibiting a 5.2 dB extinction ratio, 4.9 dB insertion loss, and error free operation up to 32 Gb/s.
