Slice-Less Optical Arbitrary Waveform Measurement (OAWM) on a Silicon Photonic Chip

We demonstrate the first slice-less optical-arbitrary-waveform-measurement (OAWM) frontend integrated on a silicon photonic chip and demonstrate its viability by reception of high-speed data signals (100 GBd 64 QAM). Our system covers a bandwidth of more than 160 GHz and exploits an accurate calibration for high-fidelity signal reconstruction.
