An Ultra-Low Power All CMOS Si Photonic Transmitter

We report the first 400fJ/bit all-CMOS silicon photonic transmitter made of CMOS depletion ring modulator flip-chip integrated with CMOS driver, and demonstrated error-free 5Gbps transmission of over 1.5Pbits of data without closed-loop ring resonance tuning.
