Generation and transmission of 160-Gbaud QPSK Coherent Signals using a Dual-Drive Plasmonic-Organic Hybrid I/Q modulator on Silicon Photonics

We report on coherent transmission of beyond 100 GBd signaling based on plasmonic technology. Using dual-drive plasmonic-organic-hybrid I/Q modulator on silicon photonics platform, we demonstrate the successful transmission of 160-GBaud QPSK and 140-GBaud 16QAM modulations.
