RT Journal Article T1 QPSK modulation in the O-band using a single dual-drive Mach-Zehnder silicon modulator A1 Pérez-Galacho, Diego A1 Bramerie, Laurent A1 Baudot, Charles A1 Chaibi, Mohamed A1 Messaoudène, Sonia A1 Vulliet, Nathalie A1 Vivien, Laurent A1 Peucheret, Christophe A1 Marris-Morini, Delphine K1 Fotónica K1 Comunicaciones ópticas AB Keeping up with bandwidth requirements in next generation short- and long-reach optical communication systems will require migrating from simple modulation formats such as on-off keying (OOK) to more advanced formats such as quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK). In this work, we report the first demonstration of QPSK signal generation in the O-Band using a silicon dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM). The performance of the silicon DD-MZM is assessed at 20 Gb/s and compared against a similar DD-MZM based on LiNbO3, showing a limited implementation power penalty of only 1.5 dB.
