Abstract :
This letter demonstrates optical demultiplexing of a 1.28-Tb/s serial differential phase-shift-keying data signal using a nano-engineered silicon waveguide. We first present error-free performance at 640 Gb/s and then at 1.28 Tb/s with characterization of all 128 channels. Bit-error rates below 10-9 are achieved for some channels and below forward-error-correction limit for all channels, corresponding to a 1.19-Tb/s error-free data signal.
