Abstract :
We have demonstrated error-free DEMUX operation in a monolithic photodiode electroabsorption modulator (PD-EAM) at a data-rate of up to 160 Gbit/s. A high on/off ratio (low interchannel crosstalk) of more than 17 dB and a receiver sensitivity of -23.3 dBm are obtained. The error-free operation at a data rate of 160 Gbit/s is the highest bit rate ever achieved by using EO device. These results clearly indicate that PD-EAM optical gate has the potential for practical use in future high-bit-rate optical communication systems.
