We introduce a platform based on passive and electro-optic polymers, and present a serial 100G transmitter with 22-nm tunability. We achieve 100-Gb/s transmission over 1625-m, and demonstrate the flexibility of the transmitter inside data-center networks. 1. Introduction Next generation 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) interfaces have the potential to overcome the limitations in terms of throughput and line card density that 10 and 40 GbE interfaces face today in intra-data center networks (iDCNs). For this reason they are expected to be widely deployed in the future, interconnecting switches at the higher layers of the electrical packet switching hierarchy or switches at the edge of the optical circuit switched (OCS) domain of these networks over distances up to 2-km [1]. Along this line, we recently demonstrated transmitters for single-and multi-100 GbE interfaces, which rely on the hybrid integration of an electro-optic (EO) polymer photonic circuit (polyboard) with a laser diode and u...
