Fully Packaged 100-GHz-Bandwidth EO-Equalizer- Integrated TFLN Modulator with Record-High Slope Efficiency Enabling 200-GBaud Signaling

We developed a fully packaged 100-GHz-bandwidth TFLN modulator utilizing an electro-optic frequency-domain equalizer with record-high slope efficiency, enabling the first measurable TDEC/TDECQ of 200-Gbaud OOK and 184-Gbaud PAM4 without receiver-side digital equalizers. Furthermore, BER measurements up to 255 Gbaud and 528 Gbps are reported.
