112Gb/s DP-QPSK transmission Over 2427km SSMF using small-size silicon photonic IQ modulator and low-power CMOS driver

We report 2427km, 112Gb/s DP-QPSK optical transmission using the smallest Silicon Photonic modulator and lowest power CMOS MZM driver. BER characterization of this device demonstrates comparable performance relative to a commercial LiNbO3 modulator.
