摘要：

A microring-based silicon modulator operating at 40 Gb/s near 1310 nm is demonstrated for the first time to our knowledge. NRZ-OOK signals at 40 Gb/s with 6.2 dB extinction ratio are observed by applying a 4.8 Vpp driving voltage and biasing the modulator at 7 dB insertion loss point. The energy efficiency is 115 fJ/bit. The transmission performance of 40 Gb/s NRZ-OOK through 40 km of standard single mode fiber without dispersion compensation is also investigated. We show that the link suffers negligible dispersion penalty. This makes the modulator a potential candidate for metro network applications. (C) 2014 Optical Society of America
