Corning Outstanding Paper Award
Adrian Schwarzenberger, PhD candidate at IPQ, received the Corning Outstanding Paper Award at the 50th Optical Fiber Communication Conference.
April 2025: Adrian Schwarzenberger, PhD candidate at IPQ, received the Corning Outstanding Student Paper Award at the 50th Optical Fiber Communication Conference in San Francisco, California, USA.
In his paper, “Silicon-Organic Hybrid (SOH) Mach-Zehnder Modulator (MZM) for Single-Carrier IMDD Line Rates of 500 Gbit/s and Beyond”, Adrian Schwarzenber presented a silicon-organic hybrid modulator seamlessly integrated on a silicon photonics multi-project wafer run featuring a 6dB bandwidth > 100 GHz. With the modulator he managed to demonstrate line rates beyond 500 GBit/s, an important step towards high-speed, low-cost, and energy-efficient transceivers.
