“Towards 200 GBaud Line Rates with Waveguide-Integrated Plasmonic Graphene Photodetectors”, Paper Th3E.4.
🔗 Access the paper: https://doi.org/10.1364/OFC.2025.Th3E.4

Highlights:

  • Demonstrates a waveguide-integrated plasmonic graphene photodetector architecture with a record symbol rate of ~192 GBaud—approaching 200 GBaud line rates. opg.optica.org+1
  • Uses plasmonic resonant enhancement to optimise light-graphene interaction, enabling ultra-high-speed performance in a compact integrated form.
  • Represents a key step toward the next generation of ultra-high-capacity photonic links for optical communications.
