8-channel WDM silicon photonics transceiver with SOA and semiconductor mode-locked laser

-1). The three best channels of the full link consisting in the silicon photonics transmitter operated with the silicon photonics receiver in back-to-back configuration maintain a BER better than the targeted 5e-5. Based on link budget modeling, we expect this target to be reached for all 8 channels pending improvement of the receiver offset compensation loop.
