High-speed data experiments with a plasmonic ring resonator used as an EO-modulator. (a) Depicts the experimental setup. (b) Bit-error-ratio (BER) vs. wavelength for a resonator with λresonance = 1549nm. BERs below the hard-decision forward error correction (HD-FEC) limit show successful data modulation and detection without the use of a temperature control. The BER increases at the resonance wavelength as expected from the notch-filter response of the resonator. (c) Shows the bandwidth of the plasmonic resonator in the bottom, which is beyond 110 GHz.
