Ultralow drive voltage silicon traveling-wave modulator Paper (Optical Society of America)

Silicon platforms are emerging as a commercial platform for integrated photonics. To integrate directly with on-chip electronics, drive voltages at or below 1 Vpp are desirable.

In this paper from the Optical Society of America, the DSA8300 Series Oscilloscope is being used to verify operation of a broadband modulator with a drive voltage of 0.63 Vpp at 20 Gb/s.
