Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed to provide automatic bias control for intensity modulated silicon modulator by providing a laser light to a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) and splitting the laser light into a first arm and a second arm, wherein light in the first arm experiences a phase section for data modulation and light in the second arm receives heat for bias control and a phase section for data modulation; providing a first output light of the MZM; providing a complementary output light a monitor photodetector (mPD); and applying an uneven spacing 3-level square wave as dither for automatic bias control of MZM which operates at quad point and phase tuning with a heater.
