Abstract
We fabricated an optical transmitter with high frequency and integrated design based on the flip-chip interconnection technique (Hi-FIT) and assisted extended reach electroadsorption modulator integrated distributed feedback (EADFB) laser (AXEL) for 200-Gbit/s/λ application. The Hi-FIT makes it possible to increase modulation bandwidth thanks to wire-free interconnection and peaking control techniques while the AXEL can increase the optical modulation output power thanks to an integrated semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). The fabricated Hi-FIT AXEL transmitter has a 3-dB bandwidth of more than 66 GHz. We obtained clear 224-Gbit/s 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (4-PAM) eye diagrams with a chip-output optical modulation amplitude (OMA) of more than +7.9 dBm at distributed feedback (DFB) laser and SOA currents of 70 and 30 mA, respectively.
