Abstract :
A differential impedance-engineered 32 Gbit/s SiGe driver co-designed with an InP-based MZ-Modulator is demonstrated, showing record low 185 mW power consumption. The small footprint and low power is targeting towards CFP4-sized coherent transceivers. Results on IQ-Modulators will be presented.
