Co-Design of Electronics and Photonics Components for Silicon Photonics Transmitters

Synergistic design of a CMOS driver and a depletion type Si MZM has been illustrated from circuit level design to real chip tape-out. The compact wire-bonded transmitter achieves 1.5pJ/bit power efficiency at 22Gb/s, provided 3.0dB extinction raio is maintained.
