  • Abstract
    We report on the first silicon photonic modulator-based optically-connected memory system. An FPGA-based processor generates a 4×2.5-Gb/s WDM memory link via an array of silicon microring modulators, achieving error-free (BERs<;10-12) performance using several standard line coding schemes.
