Abstract

The transmission performance of a silicon microring depletion-mode intensity modulator is demonstrated. BER measurements up to 10^-12 for 25 Gbps and 30 Gbps over 10 km SMF validate performance for short- and medium-reach optical interconnects. OCIS codes: (250.0250) Optoelectronics, (250.3140) Integrated optoelectronic circuits, (250.5300) Photonic integrated circuits, (250.4110) Modulators, (040.6040) Silicon.
