Characterization of an integrated coherent receiver for 224 Gb/s polarization multiplexed 16-QAM transmission

An integrated coherent receiver module based on monolithically integrated 90° hybrids and balanced waveguide pin-photodiodes is presented. Optical transmission performance is demonstrated for a 224 Gb/s PDM 16-QAM modulated signal over 250 km ULAF.
