摘要
We demonstrate a stable complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor-compatible on-chip multiple-wavelength source by filtering and modulating individual comb lines from a parametric optical frequency comb generated in a silicon nitride microring resonator. We show comb operation in a stable lownoise state. Bit-error rate measurements demonstrate negligible power penalty from six independent frequency comb lines when compared with a tunable diode laser baseline. Open eye diagrams confirm the fidelity of the 10 Gb/s data transmitted at the comb frequencies and the suitability of this device for use as a fully integrated silicon-based wavelength-division-multiplexing source.
