Graphene Photonics I/Q Modulator for Advanced Modulation Formats.

ABSTRACT: Starting from its classical domain of long distance links, optical communication is conquering new application areas down to chip-to-chip interconnections in response to the ever-increasing demand for higher bandwidth. The use of coherent modulation formats, typically employed in long-haul systems, is now debated to be extended to short links to increase the bandwidth density. Next-generation transceivers are targeting high bandwidth, high energy efficiency, compact footprint, and low cost. Integrated photonics is the only technology to reach this goal, and silicon photonics is expected to play the leading actor. However, silicon modulators have some limits, in terms of bandwidth and footprint. Graphene is an ideal material to be integrated with silicon photonics to meet the requirements o
