Ultra-compact coherent receiver based on hybrid integration on silicon

A coherent receiver based on silicon photonics is presented. Its performance is confirmed by single-channel and WDM transmission tests with PM-QPSK modulation at 28 Gbaud up to 4800 km. The packaged core is very compact with dimensions of 6 mm × 8 mm.
