Abstract

We elaborate on and experimentally characterize the intermodulation crosstalk properties of a 10-Gb/s silicon microring modulator. Bit-error-rate measurements and eye diagrams are used to discern the degradation in signal quality due to intermodulation crosstalk. Evaluation of the power penalties with varying channel spacing are used to support wavelength-division-multiplexed cascaded microring modulator channel spacings as dense as 100 GHz with negligible expected intermodulation crosstalk.
