Silicon Photonics Coherent Optical Subassembly with EO and OE Bandwidths of over 50 GHz

We present a silicon photonics coherent optical subassembly, which has electro-optic/ optic-electro bandwidths of 54 GHz/52 GHz for a transmitter/receiver. We also demonstrate up to 96 Gbaud polarization multiplexed 16QAM signal generation and detection.
