Abstract
We demonstrate 1.6Tbps Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuit (SiPIC) meeting co-packaged optics requirements for network switch applications. The SiPIC has sixteen 106Gbps PAM4 optical channels, including lasers, modulators and V-grooves. Post-FEC error-free operation over temperature is demonstrated.
