1550nm Optical Interconnect Transceiver with Low Voltage Electroabsorption Modulators Flip-Chip Bonded to 90nm CMOS

A low-voltage 90 nm CMOS optical interconnect transceiver operating at 1550 nm is presented. This is the first system demonstrated using the recent quasi-waveguide angled facet electroabsorption modulator (QWAFEM), featuring simple electronic and optical packaging.
