Abstract

In this paper, we present a 300 GHz wireless link composed of a photonic uni-traveling-carrier diode transmitter and an active electronic receiver based on millimeterwave integrated circuits fabricated in an InGaAs metamorphic high electron mobility transistor technology. The input pseudo-random binary sequence is transmitted and analyzed offline using fast analog to digital converters. The data transmission reaches 100 Gbps over a distance of 15 meters. Complex modulation formats, like 32-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation and 64-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, are successfully transmitted up to a symbol rate of 8 GBd. The system presents not only a high linearity but is also capable of transmitting high symbol rates, up to 40 GBd To the best of the authors' knowledge, this represents the highest ever reported transmission bandwidth as well as the highest spectral density symbol rate product for transmissions with center frequency in the terahertz band. Thus, the usage of such links in future bandwidth-hungry applications like data centers, data showers, front- and backhaul is proven feasible.
