Increasing the delay-bit rate product on silicon chip using Star-16QAM signal with high spectral efficiency

• We proposed and experimentally demonstrate the generation of a novel star-16QAM using a dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (DPMZM) followed by a phase modulator (PM). Coherent detection and off-line processing are used to recover constellation diagrams. We also study optical delay of a novel star-16QAM signal through a silicon microring resonator. Delay time of ∼ 30ps is observed by comparing the eye diagram of the star-16QAM signal on-resonance with that off-resonance.
