Paper Abstract
Low-loss high-speed traveling-wave silicon Mach-Zehnder modulator with reduced series resistance is studied in
microwave and optical measurements. Microwave impedance and propagation loss under reverse bias are characterized
by S-parameter measurements. Resonant loss due to series inductance-resistance-capacitance coupling limits microwave
performances of the traveling-wave modulator. High-speed optical performances are characterized, based on eyediagram
measurements in on-off keying at 10-32 Gb/s and constellation and eye-diagram measurements in differential
phase-shift keying at 20 Gb/s. Dispersion tolerance in error-free transmission in 10-Gb/s on-off keying and 20-Gb/s
differential phase-shift keying is obtained as +/-950 ps/nm and +/-220 ps/nm, respectively by path-penalty measurements.
Transmission performance in 10-Gbps on-off keying is comparable with lithium niobate Mach-Zehnder modulator.
