Her paper presents an amplifier-free on-chip antenna-integrated plasmonic modulator receiver in sub-THz regime. In addition to this, a framework for designing plasmonic antennas and transmission of up to 80Gbit/s in a wireless sub-THz link starring these receivers are shown. Our sincere congratulations!
The paper has been selected by the Optics Express Editors to be highlighted as "Editor's Picks". A recognition that serves "to highlight articles with excellent scientific quality and are representative of the work taking place in a specific field". We thank the editor for this acclaim and congratulate Michael Baumann and the team for the work.
His paper demonstrates plasmonic ring resonator modulators operating at 480Gbit/s with an achievable information rate (AIR) of 461Gbit/s in an intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) experiment. The modulator features low insertion loss of 1.2 dB, a flat bandwidth in excess of 110 GHz. Our sincere congratulations!
