Silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) electro-optic modulators for high-speed and power-efficient communications

Download or read book Silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) electro-optic modulators for high-speed and power-efficient communications written by Wolf, Stefan and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-28 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) modulators add a highly efficient nonlinear organic electro-optic cladding material to the silicon photonic platform, thereby enabling efficient electro-optic modulation. In this book, the application potential of SOH modulators is investigated. Proof-of-principle experiments show that they can be used for high-speed communications at symbol rates up to 100 GBd and operated directly from a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) without additional driver amplifiers.
