Demonstration of Optical Transmission at Bit Rates of Up to 321.4 Gb/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 a basis for low-cost advanced optical transceivers.
