Demonstration of optical transmission at bit rates of up to 321.4Gb/s using compact Silicon based modulator and linear BiCMOS MZM driver

We have designed and tested a compact flip-chip assembly that combines the photonic and electrical functionality of a Silicon Photonic modulator and a SiGe BiCMOS MZM-driver. This forms the basis for low-cost advanced optical transceivers.
