Figure 6: Integrated modulator components and energy scaling.

From: An ultralow power athermal silicon modulator

Figure 6

(a) A diagram of the required integrated electrical circuitry to drive, and control the modulator and barrel shifter to correct for channel hopping between modulators. (b) The energy consumption scaling of the modulator subsystem is plotted as a function of CMOS node scaling, showing sub-fJ per bit driver and total electronics energy at advanced CMOS nodes.
