Driven primarily by cloud service and data-center applications, short-reach optical
communication has become a key market segment and growing research area in recent …

In recent years, short-reach optical links have attracted much more attention and have come
to constitute a key market segment due to the rapid development of data-center applications …

Client-side optics are facing an ever-increasing upgrading pace, driven by upcoming 5G
related services and datacenter applications. The demand for a single lane data rate is soon …

In this paper, we review the historical evolution of predictions of the performance of optical
communication systems. We will describe how such predictions were made from the outset …

Silicon photonics is considered as one of the promising technologies for high-speed optical
fiber communications. Among various silicon photonic devices, germanium on silicon …

In intensity-modulation and direct-detection (IM-DD) communication systems, electrical
chromatic dispersion (CD) compensation cannot be directly applied in the transceivers due …

Silicon photonics for synergistic electronic–photonic integration has achieved remarkable
progress in the past two decades. Active photonic devices, including lasers, modulators, and …

We report on what is to the best of our knowledge the longest 50-Gb/s/λ O-band wavelength-
division multiplexed (WDM) transmission. A pair of in-house built bismuth-doped fiber …

We experimentally demonstrate a high-speed intensity modulation and direct-detection
(IM/DD) system with four wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) channels. With the aid of …

This paper describes the design and performance of high-speed avalanche photodiodes
(APDs) for 100-Gbit/s PAM4 operation. The APDs are made with InP-lattice-matched III-V …
