摘要
We experimentally demonstrate cascaded silicon micro-ring modulators as the key components of a WDM interconnection system. We show clean eye-diagrams when each of the four micro-ring modulators is modulated at 4 Gbit/s. We show that optical inter-channel crosstalk is negligible with a channel spacing of 1.3 nm.
