AB  - We demonstrated all-silicon IQ modulators (IQMs) operating at 120-GBaud 16-QAM 
      with suitable bandwidth, and output power. We required optical 
      signal-to-noise-ratio (rOSNR) that have promising potential to be used in 
      800-Gbps small-form-factor pluggable transceivers for data center 
      interconnection. First, we tested an IQM chip using discrete drivers and achieved 
      a per-polarization TX output power of -18.74 dBm and an rOSNR of 23.51 dB over a 
      100-km standard SMF. Notably, a low BER of 1.4e-3 was obtained using our SiP IQM 
      chip without employing nonlinear compensation, optical equalization, or an 
      ultra-wide-bandwidth, high-ENOB OMA. Furthermore, we investigated the performance 
      of a 3D packaged transmitter by emulating its frequency response using an IQM 
      chip, discrete drivers, and a programmable optical filter. With a laser power of 
      17 dBm, we achieved a per-polarization output power of -15.64 dBm and an rOSNR of 
      23.35 dB.
