A small form factor Si-based coherent receiver

A coherent receiver based on silicon photonics is presented. Its performance is confirmed at 112 Gb/s with PM-QPSK modulation at 28 Gbaud up to 4800 km and at 224 Gb/s with PM-16QAM up to 640 km. The packaged core has very compact dimensions of 6mm×8mm.
