Abstract
An energy/area-efficient low-cost broadband linearity enhancement technique for electro-optic micro-ring modulators (MRM) is proposed to achieve 6.1-dB dynamic linearity improvement in spurious-free-dynamic-range with intermodulation distortions (IMD) and 17.9-dB static linearity improvement in integral nonlinearity over a conventional notch-filter MRM within a 4.8-dB extinction-ratio (ER) full-scale range based on rapid silicon-photonics fabrication results for the emerging applications of various analog and digital optical communication systems.
