We demonstrate that error-free data transmission can be easily obtained without optical isolators and/or precise fiber alignments by using a low-noise graded-index plastic optical fiber (GI POF) with microscopic core heterogeneities. The novel GI POF is paving the way for consumer-friendly 4K/8K optical interface.

We compare the performance of 25 Gb/s PAM4 modulation in segmented ring and dual cascaded ring resonators driven by CMOS drivers designed in 65nm process. With optimized frequency detuning, the segmented ring modulator is found to achieve larger eye opening with lower power consumption.

The demand for BW is increasing at an unbelievable pace, the Chip, System and Optics industries are trying to converge on the next generation signaling rate to cater to this surge in BW demand. IEEE 802.3 is already working on 100G signaling for 100GBASE-DR1 and 400GBASE-DR4 & OIF PLL group has started to work on CEI-112G-PAM4-VSR. MACOM has envisioned this transition early and has had the opportunity to “play” with this technology in the lab for over a year. In this presentation we'll touch on some of the experiments conducted so far.

A two-segment silicon photonic microring modulator implements an optical DAC for PAM4 modulation. Independent level and edge-rate control is achieved using segmented MSB/LSB pulsed-cascode drivers. The 65nm CMOS transmitter achieves 40Gb/s operation at 4.38mW/Gb/s while driving each microring modulator segment with 4.4Vppd swing.

We present a silicon photonics optical I/O interfacing solution based on adiabatic optical coupling between silicon and polymer waveguides working for both O- and C-band. In the O-band, a fiber-to-chip coupling loss < 4 dB was found, with a polarization dependent loss < 0.5 dB.

We demonstrate a reconfigurable, software-controlled, C-band optical power distribution system leveraging a 1×7 cascaded microring-based silicon photonic device. The thermo-optic effect and the spectral response of each ring is characterized and utilized in FPGA-based control plane algorithm to achieve precise power distribution profiles.
