Demonstration of 300 Gbps error-free transmission of WDM data stream in silicon photonic wires

We present the first experimental demonstration of error-free (bit error rates < 10-12) transmission of a 300-Gbps WDM data stream through a 2-cm-long silicon photonic wire using 24 C-band channels, each modulated at 12.5 Gbps. © 2007 Optical Society of America.
