Reliable High-speed Transmitter of Spin-on Electro-optic Waveguide Modulators

Abstract

We demonstrate >100Gbaud transmission of waveguide modulators using strong Pockels effect materials. The modulators have BER below FEC threshold, driving voltage of sub-one volt, and possible reliable operation under severe environmental conditions. We discuss electro-optic polymer and spin-on ferroelectric waveguide modulars for such applications.
