Systems and devices in a 30 GHz silicon-on-insulator platform

We present a 30 GHz silicon photonic platform that includes low-loss passive components, high-speed modulators and Ge-on-Si photodetectors. The platform is available to the community as part of the OpSIS-IME multi-project-wafer foundry service. We conclude with a proposal for a fully CMOS-compatible optical isolator based on multistage phase modulation.
