We study the nonlinear distortions of a silicon ring modulator based on the carrier depletion effect for analog links. Key sources of modulation nonlinearity are identified and modeled. We find that the most important source of nonlinearity is from the pn junction itself, as opposed to the nonlinear wavelength response of the ring modulator. Spurious free dynamic range for intermodulation distortion of as high as 84 dB. Hz(2/3) is obtained. (C) 2012 Optical Society of America
