Abstract
We demonstrated a high performance monolithically integrated multi-channel receiver fabricated on the SOI platform. This receiver is composed of a 1 x 8 Si-based ring-resonators filter and an array of high speed waveguided Ge-on-Si photodetectors. The optical channel spacing is about 1.5 nm. The responsivity of Ge-on-Si photodetector is about 1.0 A/W at the wavelength range of 1554 nm to 1564 nm. Each channel is capable of operating at a data rate of 20 Gbps, resulting in an aggregate data rate of 160 Gbps. At a BER of 1 × 10−11, the receiver showed an optical input sensitivity of between −20 dBm and −21 dBm for each channel at 10 Gbps data rate.Keywords
