Abstract

We design and fabricate silicon vertical slot waveguides. Ultra-wide bandwidth 1.8-Tbit/s (161 WDM 11.2-Gbit/s OFDM 16-QAM) data transmission through 1-mm, 2mm, 3.1-mm, 12.2-mm-long silicon vertical slot waveguides are demonstrated in the experiment. All 161 WDM channels achieve BER less than 1e-3 after propagating through silicon vertical slot waveguides.
