In this paper, we present a brief history of silicon photonics from the early research papers in
the late 1980s and early 1990s, to the potentially revolutionary technology that exists today …

The realization of gigahertz bandwidth modulators out of silicon-based technology in the
early 2000s marked a cornerstone of silicon photonics development. While modulation …

High-speed optical interconnects are crucial for both data centers and high performance
computing systems. High power consumption and limited device bandwidth have hindered …

Efficient electro-optic (EO) modulators crucially rely on advanced materials that exhibit
strong electro-optic activity and that can be integrated into high-speed and efficient phase …

Increased traffic demands within and between data centers now necessitate low-cost and
low-power systems with per-wavelength bit rates beyond what can be easily achieved using …

Transceivers based on electroabsorption modulators (EAM) are considered as a promising
candidate for the next generation 400 GbE short-reach optical networks. They are capable of …

Four-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-4) is widely regarded as the modulation format
of choice for the next generation of 400 gigabit Ethernet short-reach optical transceiver …

We experimentally demonstrate a digital-to-analog-converter-less (DAC-less) vestigial
sideband (VSB) 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) transmission system for data …

Of-late research on Stokes vector receivers for the short-reach optical communications has
gained significant attention due to its capability to decode information in multidimension …

Externally modulated lasers have proven to be key components for optical communication
because of their compactness, low-power consumption, and speed. In this paper, we …
