Abstract

We realized a monolithic polarization-diversity dual-quadrature coherent receiver with on-chip balanced detection in a silicon photonic integrated circuit with integrated germanium detectors. We tested it using a polarization-division multiplexed quadrature phase-shift keyed signal at 112-Gb/s.
