Compact high-speed InP microdisk modulators heterogeneously integrated on a SOI waveguide

We present a compact, low-power, high-speed indium phosphide based microdisk modulator heterogeneously integrated on a silicon-on-insulator waveguide. We demonstrate bit-error rates below 1×10 -9 and open eyes up to 10 Gb/s. © 2012 IEEE.
