Silicon carrier depletion modulator with 10 Gbit/s driver realized in high-performance photonic BiCMOS

Optical modulators based upon carrier depletion have proven to be effective at achieving high speed operation in silicon. However, when incorporated into Mach-Zehnder Interferometer structures they require electronic driver amplifiers to provide peak to peak drive voltages of a few volts in order to...
