Achieving beyond-100-GHz large-signal modulation bandwidth in hybrid silicon photonics Mach Zehnder modulators using thin film lithium niobate

Mach-Zehnder electro-optic modulators (EOM) based on thin-film lithium niobate bonded to a silicon photonic waveguide circuit have been shown to achieve very high modulation bandwidths. Open eye-diagram measurements made in the time domain of beyond-small-signal modulation are used to support the mo...
