CMOS Circuitry for the Wavelength Locking of a Ring-based Silicon Photonics Transmitter KU Leuven
The aggregate bandwidth of the inter-chip and intra-chip interconnects needs to be increased to multi-terabyte/s at an energy efficiency of < 1 pJ/bit. To do so, SiPh-based optical interconnects have been proposed to replace the existing electrical interconnects. An E/O modulator is a key component of such an optical interconnect. It executes amplitude modulation of the incoming laser wavelength (λlas) with the to-be-transmitted electrical ...
