TL;DR: A plasmonic Mach-Zehnder (MZ) modulator with a flat frequency response exceeding 170 GHz is demonstrated and is relevant for next-generation optical interconnects.

TL;DR: Dual Polarization 64 QAM at 100 GBaud performing below the 20% soft FEC threshold of 4×10−2 over 300 km of ultra large effective area fiber at a record line rate of 1.2-Tbit/s is experimentally demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate 100 GBd operation of an optical transmitter module including a distributed feedback laser monolithically integrated with a Mach-Zehnder modulator (DFB-MZM), to the best of their knowledge for the first time.

TL;DR: A 72-GBd single-carrier 64-QAM signal is generated using high-speed digital-to-analog converters and a record line rate of 864 Gb/s is obtained on a single wavelength.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates the first demonstration of 100 Gbit/s OOK on the silicon photonic platform, featuring the lowest drive voltage and energy consumption ever demonstrated for a semiconductor-based device at this data rate and expects that high-speed, power-efficient SOH modulators may have transformative impact on short-reach networks.
