Demonstration of Long-Term Thermal Stability of a Silicon-Organic Hybrid (SOH) Modulator at 85°C

We demonstrate highly stable silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) modulators fulfilling Telcordia standards for high-temperature storage. We show error-free 40 Gbit/s signaling with drive voltages of 1.65 Vpp using a device stored at 85°C for 2700 hours.
