Abstract
A polymer single-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator is experimentally characterized using 100-Gbit/s serial data modulation. BER of 10-9 is achieved for both 100-Gbit/s NRZ-OOK and NRZ-DPSK signals without optical or electrical equalization. The modulator shows a 7-dB bandwidth at 110-GHz and the chirp as low as -0.0219 GHz.
