Experiments in Ultrahigh-speed Optical Modulation and Transmission Using Plasmonic Mach-Zehnder Modulator
13 January 2022
We summarize our experiments with an ultrabroad bandwidth plasmonic Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) in an intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) system for short-reach optical transmission up to 10 km. We demonstrate the capabilities of plasmonic MZM in terms of high-symbol-rate multi-level optical signal modulation with two different signaling schemes: m-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-m), m
