AB  - We report multi-level modulation in polarization-independent surface-normal 
      electro-absorption modulators (SNEAMs). Four-level pulse amplitude modulation 
      (PAM-4) at a line rate of 44 Gb/s is demonstrated on a fully packaged SNEAM with 
      a 30 microm active area diameter and a 14 GHz electro-optic bandwidth. High-capacity 
      PAM-4 transmission at 112 and 160 Gb/s is demonstrated on an unpackaged SNEAM 
      chip, with a 15 microm active area diameter and ultrawide electro-optic bandwidth 
      (>>65GHz). Fiber transmission is investigated for direct detection link lengths up 
      to 23 km at 44 Gb/s and 2 km at 112 and 160 Gb/s, the highest multi-level 
      modulation rates achieved on a SNEAM.
