Abstract
A silicon photonics integrated reconfigurable nested Mach Zehnder interferometer including tunable splitters and four independent phase modulators has been designed and fabricated. Thanks to the custom architecture, 16 QAM modulation is achieved with simple binary driving signals and successfully detected up to 20Gbaud with BER below the FEC level.
