100 Gbit/s OOK using a silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) modulator

We demonstrate a silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) Mach-Zehnder modulator suitable for 100 Gbit/s on-off keying (OOK) with peak-to-peak drive voltages of 1.4 V and energy consumption below 100 fJ/bit. Devices were fabricated using standard processes on a commercial silicon photonic platform.
