53 Gbps Optical Link with Co-designed DSP and Integrated EAM Driver, Heterogeneously-Integrated Transmitter, and Monolithically-Integrated Receiver

We demonstrate an optical link at 53 Gbps using a 53G DSP with integrated electroabsorption modulator driver, a transmitter with heterogeneously integrated tunable lasers and electroabsorption modulators, and a receiver with monolithically integrated photodetectors and transimpedance amplifiers.
