64 GBd DP-Bipolar-8ASK Transmission over 120 km SSMF Employing a Monolithically Integrated Driver and MZM in 0.25-um SiGe BiCMOS Technology

Gilda Raoof Mehrpoor, Carsten Schmidt-Langhorst, Benjamin Wohlfeil +13

We demonstrate 64 GBd signal generation up to bipolar-8-ASK utilizing a single MZM, monolithically integrated with segmented drivers in SiGe. Using polarization multiplexing, 300-G…
