Linearity Measurement and Pulse Amplitude Modulation in a Silicon Single-Drive Push-Pull Mach-Zehnder Modulator

We characterize the modulation linearity of a silicon Mach-Zehnder modulator with a single-drive push-pull configuration. The 3-dB electro-optic bandwidths of the modulator are 15 and 32 GHz at 0 and 6 V reverse biases, respectively. The best spurious-free dynamic ranges (SFDRs) for the second-order...
