Silicon photonic (SiPho) ring modulators (RMs) are widely used in optical transceivers due to their excellent electro-optic (EO) performance, small footprint, and low energy consumption. Because of ...

This paper presents a quarter-rate CMOS transmitter (TX) integrated with a two-segment silicon-based microring modulator (MRM). The AC-coupled pulsed-cascode high-swing voltage-mode MSB/LSB drivers ...
