Power penalty measurement and frequency chirp extraction in silicon microdisk resonator modulators

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

We demonstrate 5Gbs and10Gbs error free operation of silicon photonic microdisk resonant modulators to a distance of 70km, measure dispersion power penalties and compare the experimental results with theoretically derived values. ©2009 Optical Society of America.
