Title

Multi-level optical signal generation using a segmented-electrode InP IQ-MZM with integrated CMOS binary drivers

Abstract
We present a segmented-electrode InP IQ-MZM, capable of multi-level optical signal generation (5-bit per I/Q arm) by employing direct digital drive from integrated, low-power (1W) CMOS binary drivers. Programmable, multi-level operation is demonstrated experimentally on one MZM of the device.
