Abstract
A silicon photonic based transmitter and receiver chipset for 4×106Gb/s 400 GBASE-DR4 data rates is presented. Each channel of the transmitter chip reaches high extinction ratio and optical modulation amplitude (OMA) with a low TDECQ penalty in full compliance with the IEEE standard. The receiver chips possess high responsivity with low polarization dependent loss. The use of discrete III-V arrayed components hybridized onto the silicon platform and passive alignment of single-mode fibers provides a low-cost, compact and scalable solution extendable to even higher aggregate rates and channel count.
