Abstract: We demonstrate a 12.5 Gb/s carrier-injection silicon Mach-Zehnder optical modulator. Under a non-return-zero (NRZ) pre-emphasized electrical drive signal with voltage swing of 6.3 V and forward bias of 0.7 V, the eye is clearly opened with an extinction ratio of 8.4 dB. The device exhibits high modulation efficiency, with a figure of merit VπL of 0.036 V·mm.

Key words: optical modulator
