In a world facing new challenges such as mobility or safety, the increasing demand of applications fitted to new ways of life has driven the emergence of new technology markets. The challenge twofold lies in the rise of global mobile data traffic and the design of more efficient LiDAR sensor's systems. This dual trend has prompted research...

In this Letter, the authors report the achievement of terahertz transmissions using advanced quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM)16 signals using 300 GHz silicon photonics devices, developed in industrial foundry process PIC25G. Up to 56 Gbps is obtained using QAM16 single channel modulation and up to 50 Gbps in a dual-channel configuration.

With the surge in mega-data communications, wireless networks are entering a revolution which has now taken off with 5G. From a user perspective, the main challenge is providing fast and agile connections in all usage scenarios. Considering the data-rates expected to be delivered to users (some urban areas with 1000 users per cell) the overall...
