Abstract :
We demonstrated the InP-based DP-QPSK modulator monolithically integrated with four Mach-Zehnder modulators planarized by the benzocyclobutene polymer. Clear eye-opening under 32 Gb/s operation was successfully achieved in all of four Mach-Zehnder modulators at a low driving voltage of 1.8 Vpp.
