Abstract

Abstract : A monolithic dual‐polarisation quadrature phase shift keying transmitter is demonstrated for operation at 2.25 Tbit/s over 40 wavelengths and 1 THz of spectral bandwidth. The single‐chip InP‐based transmitter employs 40 tunable distributed feedback lasers, 80 nested Mach‐Zehnder modulators and other elements to provide more than 1700 integrated photonic functions.
