Ultrafast pulse-amplitude modulation with a femtojoule silicon photonic modulator
Ultrahigh-speed optical interconnects are essential to future cloud computing. Further increase in optical transmission speed has been hindered by power consumption and limited bandwidth resources, for which integrated optical transceivers using advanced modulation formats, such as pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM), are a promising solution. We report 80 Gb∕s PAM operation of a silicon microring...
متن کاملSilicon Plasmon Modulators: Breaking Photonic Limits
Emerging communication applications anticipate a photonic roadmap leading to ultra-compact photonic integrated circuits. The objective is to design integrated on-chip electro-optic modulators EOMs that can combine both high modulation efficiency and low switching energy. While silicon-based EOMs have been demonstrated, they have large device footprints of the order of millimeters as a result of...
متن کاملSilicon Modulators Based on Photonic Crystal Waveguides
Ultra-compact silicon-photonic-crystal-waveguide-based thermo-optic and electro-optical Mach-Zehnder interferometers have been proposed and fabricated. Thermal and electrical simulations and optical characterizations have been performed. Experimental results were in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.
متن کاملHigh performance silicon optical modulators
In this work we present results from high performance silicon optical modulators produced within the two largest silicon photonics projects in Europe; UK Silicon Photonics (UKSP) and HELIOS. Two conventional MZI based optical modulators featuring novel self-aligned fabrication processes are presented. The first is based in 400nm overlayer SOI and demonstrates 40Gbit/s modulation with the same e...
متن کامل10 Gb/s operation of photonic crystal silicon optical modulators.
We report the first experimental demonstration of 10 Gb/s modulation in a photonic crystal silicon optical modulator. The device consists of a 200 μm-long SiO2-clad photonic crystal waveguide, with an embedded p-n junction, incorporated into an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The device is integrated on a SOI chip and fabricated by CMOS-compatible processes. With the bias voltage set at...
