OFC video: First 200G PAM4 Mach-Zehnder modulated laser

What's hot at #OFC23? 

Sanjai Parthasarathi discusses the live demonstration of a 200G four-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) Mach-Zehnder modulated laser. 

The demo featured a distributed feedback laser (DFB) and Mach-Zehnder modulator combined monolithically in a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) that enables 200G PAM4 for 1.6T transceivers with up to 10 km reach.
