A silicon photonics modulator design approach is proposed, in which the inductive networks and termination resistors are designed in conjunction with the optical phase shifter. A complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) silicon photonics transmitter developed with this approach achieved 112 gigabaud transmission with an energy efficiency better than 1 pJ per bit.
