A single InP-on-SOI microdisk for high-speed half-duplex on-chip optical links

Opt Express. 2012 Dec 10;20(26):B365-70. doi: 10.1364/OE.20.00B365.

Abstract

We demonstrate for the first time that a single compact, electrically contacted indium phosphide based microdisk heterogeneously integrated on a silicon-on-insulator waveguide can be used as both a high-speed modulator and photo detector. We demonstrate high-speed operation up to 10 Gb/s and present bit-error rate results of both operation modes.
