Abstract

First demonstration of long-haul transmission reaching bandwidth-distance product of 1-Tb-km/s, using silicon microring resonator electro-optic modulator, sets new precedence for silicon photonic applications. 12.5-Gb/s bit-error-rate and power penalty measurements confirm 80-km of feasible fiber propagation.
