High Power External Pluggable Laser Bank with Simultaneous Single Mode Optical & Electrical Connection

We demonstrate a pluggable laser bank module with 8-channel single-mode optical output and a maximum power of 18.5 dBm per channel. The hot pluggable module supports sufficient link-budget for a 1.6 Tb/s silicon photonic chip.
