This article presents a 50-Gb/s optical transmitter (TX), consisting of a 40-nm distributed
CMOS driver and a 180-nm silicon-photonic modulator. A lumped-segment Mach–Zehnder …

We demonstrate a 222 GBd on-off-keying transmitter in a short-reach intra-datacenter
scenario with direct detection after 120 m of standard single mode fiber. The system …

All-digital radio-over-fiber (RoF) transmission has attracted a significant amount of interest in
digital-centric systems or centralized networks because it greatly simplifies the front-end …

A new plasmonic Mach-Zehnder modulator is demonstrated at a bit rate of 120 Gb/s NRZ-
OOK with low peak-to-peak driving voltages of 178 mV_pp below the HD-FEC limit. Such …

We present the design and implementation of a 90-Gb/s non-return-to-zero (NRZ) direct
detection optical receiver that consists of a low-noise transimpedance amplifier (TIA) …

In the European project MORPHIC we develop a platform for programmable silicon photonic
