17-Gb/s Direct Modulation of Lambda-scale Embedded Active Region Photonic Crystal Lasers

摘要

We demonstrated the direct modulation of photonic-crystal nanocavity lasers to realize on-chip optical interconnects. A maximum 3-dB bandwidth of 16.2 GHz was obtained. We achieved a 17-Gb/s eye opening with a 35.3-fJ/bit energy cost.
