First electro-optic modulator driver circuit, operating at 100Gb/s with sufficiently large swing has just been measured at III-V Lab!
This circuit combines two 50 Gb/s data streams to provide a very clean 6V (2x3V differential) output signal to drive the modulator.
This will enable 100Gb/s per wavelength optical transmission, in the simplest format (on-off keying), with an up-to-now unachievable quality.
This team result establishes a new state-of-the-art, thanks to III-V Lab design, process and characterization staff.
InGaAs Focal Plane Array (FPA) 640x512 pixels with a pitch of 15 µm developped at III-V Lab
It was developped in the Intense program founded by the French MOD.
The Visible Short Wavelength Infra Red (VisSWIR) detection is from 0.4 µm to 1.7 µm and is intended for low light level applications.
