Abstract
We demonstrate 25 ps wide electrical pulses using a nonlinear transmission line (NLTL) integrated circuit fabricated on high-resistivity silicon. These pulses are modulated electrically and used to drive a LiNbO/sub 3/ Mach-Zehnder modulator to create optical 10 Gbit/s RZ data with 27 ps pulse width.
