Abstract

Using a Si photonic integrated circuit and separate SiGe transimpedance amplifiers, we created a high-performance dual-polarization, dual-quadrature coherent receiver. It requires only 16.3-dB optical signal-to-noise ratio to receive a 112-Gb/s polarization-division-multiplexed quadrature phase-shift keying signal at a 10^-3 bit-error rate.
