P-N dual-drive scheme enabling silicon photonics modulators operating at 200 GBaud

We present a design concept for the next generation of optical modulators. The demonstrated driver–modulator integrated silicon photonics transmitter can operate at 200 GBaud, while the power efficiency of the driver is 2.5 pJ/bit.
