Integrated broadband Ce:YIG/Si Mach-Zehnder optical isolators with over 100 nm tuning range.
We demonstrate integrated optical isolators with broadband behavior for the standard silicon-on-insulator platform. We achieve over 20 dB of optical isolation across 18 nm of optical bandwidth. The isolator is completely electrically controlled and does not require a permanent magnet. Furthermore, we demonstrate the ability to tune the central operating wavelength of the isolator across 100 nm,...
متن کاملHighly linear heterogeneous-integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometer modulators on Si.
In this paper we demonstrate highly linear Mach-Zehnder interferometer modulators utilizing heterogeneous integration on a Si substrate (HS-MZM). A record high dynamic range was achieved for silicon devices, obtained using hybrid III-V/Si phase modulation sections and single drive push-pull operation, demonstrating a spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) of 112 dB∙Hz2/3 at 10 GHz, compa...
متن کاملPhotonic-crystal-waveguide-based Silicon Mach-Zehnder Modulators
An ultra-compact photonic-crystal silicon Mach-Zehnder modulator is proposed based on the plasma dispersion effects. Transient time response of the device is simulated using semiconductor device simulator MEDICI. An efficient optical modulation has been experimentally demonstrated. ©2006 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (250.7360) Waveguide modulators; (230.2090) Electro-optical devices S...
متن کاملSlow-light Mach–Zehnder modulators based on Si photonic crystals
Mach-Zehnder optical modulators are the key devices for high-speed electrical-to-optical conversion in Si photonics. Si rib waveguides with a p-n diode structure operated in the carrier depletion mode have mainly been developed as their phase shifters. Their length is usually longer than millimeters due to the limited change in the refractive index due to the carrier depletion in a Si p-n diode...
متن کاملHigh-speed carrier-depletion silicon Mach-Zehnder optical modulators with lateral PN junctions
*Correspondence: Graham T. Reed, Optoelectronic Research Centre, University of Southampton, Mountbatten Building, Highfield, Southampton, Hampshire SO17 1BJ, UK e-mail: [email protected] This paper presents new experimental data from a lateral PN junction silicon Mach-Zehnder optical modulator. Efficiencies in the 1.4 to 1.9 V/cm range are demonstrated for drive voltages between 0 V and 6 V. H...
