Tapered-Hybrid Bend, Interior-Ridge Modulator and Filter Supporting Tbps-Scale Links

We demonstrate a novel interior-ridge modulator and filter based off a tapered-hybrid bend capable of Tbps-scale DWDM links, enabled by an FSR $=37.5 \text{ nm}$, $I L_{\text {off }}=0.025 \text{ dB}$, and $1.3 \text{ nm} / \text{mW}$ filter thermal tuning efficiency.
