25-Gbps error-free transmission over SMF and OM3 MMF using silicon photonics transmitter and CMOS receiver

We demonstrated 1310-nm 25-Gbps error-free transmission over both 2-km single-mode fibre and 100-m OM3 multi-mode fiber using the same silicon photonics transmitter and a high-sensitivity CMOS receiver with a lens-integrated photodiode.
