10 GBd SOH modulator directly driven by an FPGA without electrical amplification

Using standard single-ended FPGA outputs with 270 mV pp we demonstrate 10GBd OOK and BPSK transmission by directly driving a low-voltage silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) modulator. The scheme does not require electronic driver amplifiers, which paves the way to energy-efficient photonic-electronic integ...

Description
Summary:Using standard single-ended FPGA outputs with 270 mV pp we demonstrate 10GBd OOK and BPSK transmission by directly driving a low-voltage silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) modulator. The scheme does not require electronic driver amplifiers, which paves the way to energy-efficient photonic-electronic integration.
