We demonstrate the codesign and cointegration of an ultracompact silicon photonic receiver and a low-power-consumption (155 mW/channel) two-channel linear transimpedance amplifier array. Operation below the forward error coding (FEC) threshold both for quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) and 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) at 28 Gbaud is demonstrated.
