Abstract: Embodiments may relate to a segment driver that is to be coupled with a modulator segment of a Mach-Zehnder modulator. The segment driver may include a continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE) incorporated within an amplifier stage of the modulator. The CTLE may be configured to identify an electrical signal that is related to an optical signal of the Mach-Zehnder modulator; reduce inter-symbol interference (ISI) of the electrical signal to generate a processed electrical signal; and output the processed electrical signal to the amplifier stage. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.
