CMOS Compatible Guided-Wave Tunable Optical Equalizer
25 March 2007
A compact 4th-order pole-zero optical filter fabricated entirely in a silicon complementary metal-oxide semiconductor foundry is configured as a tunable optical equalizer. Equalization of a bandwidth-limited 10-Gb/s signal is demonstrated with a single voltage control. 2007 Optical Society of America OClS codes: (130.3120) Integrated optics devices; (250.5300) Photonic Integrated Circuits; (060.2330) Fiber optics communications
