A highly integrated wavelength locking control circuit is presented. It locks the 4Gbps CMOS-Si photonics ring-based transmitter at the maximum optical modulation amplitude (OMA). The control circuit uses direct monitoring of drop-port OMA and a dither-based slope quantizer. It is low-noise and low-offset. Resultantly, a 0.4% (2.2pm, 0.03°C) locking accuracy is achieved with only 15μA of pk-pk OMA...
Silicon micro-ring modulators have the potential to enable energy efficient, high-bandwidth-density optical interconnects in CMOS compatible silicon technologies. However, their operation is highly susceptible to any thermal, laser wavelength or process variations and, as such, require a feedback control system for guaranteeing stable modulation. This paper demonstrates wavelength locking of a hybrid...
We demonstrate wavelength locking of a hybrid C MOS-silicon photonics ring-based transmitter through direct monitoring of the optical modulation amplitude (OMA) at the drop port of the ring modulator. The OMA is read from a Ge photodetector by a low-power 40nm CMOS circuit, which subsequently drives a feed-back loop that controls the modulator temperature using an integrated heater. OMA stabilization...
