title: Silicon Mod-MUX-Ring transmitter with 4 channels at 40 Gb/s.
abstract: We propose for the first time the Mod-MUX-Ring architecture for microring based WDM transmitter. A prototype Mod-MUX-Ring transmitter with 4 channels and 400 GHz channel spacing is demonstrated and fully characterized at 40 Gb/s channel rate. Under 2.7 V driving voltage, error-free (BER < 10(-12)) operation is achieved on all channels, with 3 dB extinction ratio. Performance comparisons to Lithium Niobate modulators are made.
