Low-power high-speed silicon microdisk modulators

Zortman, William A.; Watts, Michael W.; Trotter, Douglas C.; Young, Ralph W.; Lentine, Anthony L.

A novel silicon microdisk modulator with "error-free" ∼3 femtojoule/bit modulation at 12.5Gbs has been demonstrated. Modulation with a 1 volt swing allows for compatibility with current and future digital logic CMOS electronics. ©2010 IEEE.
