摘要

我们提出了一种具有片上加热器的硅马赫-曾德尔调制器（Si MZM）的正交偏置方法。该技术通过在调制射频信号的同时扫描加热器电压来确定正交点，以确定光调制效率最高的点。通过扫描${{V}_\pi}$范围内的加热器电压，可以识别正交偏置点，而不是整个${{V}_{2\pi}}。此外，该方法可以在检测最佳调制点的同时确定斜率极性，从而实现更稳健的抖动模式操作。所提出的技术成功地证明了一个定制设计的Si MZM使用FPGA和一些商业ic。

A Quadrature Biasing Method Based on Slope Detection for Si Mach-Zehnder Modulators

We propose a novel quadrature biasing method for a silicon Mach-Zehnder Modulator (Si MZM) with an on-chip heater. The proposed technique determines the quadrature point by sweeping the heater voltage while modulating the RF signal to locate the point of maximum optical modulation efficiency. The quadrature bias point can be identified by sweeping the heater voltage only within the

${{V}_\pi }$

range, instead of the full

${{V}_{2\pi }}.$

Moreover, this method can determine the slope polarity simultaneously while detecting the optimal modulation point, enabling a more robust dithering mode operation. The proposed technique is successfully demonstrated for a custom-designed Si MZM using an FPGA along with a few commercial ICs.
