Athermal silicon microring electro-optic modulator.
We demonstrate a new class of passively temperature stabilized resonant silicon electro-optic modulators. The modulators consist of a ring resonator coupled to a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with tailored thermal properties. We demonstrate 2 GHz continuous modulation over a temperature range of 35 °C and describe the scalability and design rules for such a device.
متن کاملBandwidth and wavelength-tunable optical bandpass filter based on silicon microring-MZI structure.
A novel and simple bandwidth and wavelength-tunable optical bandpass filter based on silicon microrings in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) structure is proposed and demonstrated. In this filter design, the drop transmissions of two microring resonators are combined to provide the desired tunability. A detailed analysis and the design of the device are presented. The shape factor and extinct...
متن کاملUltra-low voltage, ultra-small mode volume silicon microring modulator.
We show GHz modulation in a 2.5 microm radius silicon micro-ring, with only 150 mV peak-peak drive voltage and an electro-optic modal volume of only 2 microm(3). The swing voltage and the micro-ring modulator are the smallest demonstrations so-far in silicon. The presented approach lays the ground work for a new class of high speed low voltage modulators enabling, seamless integration of nanoph...
متن کاملIntegrated silicon modulator based on microring array assisted MZI.
A silicon modulator with microring array assisted MZI is experimentally demonstrated on silicon-on-insulator wafer through CMOS-compatible process. The footprint of the whole modulator is about 600 μm(2). With forward-biased current-driven p-n junction, the 3-dB modulation bandwidth is ~2GHz. Furthermore, the impact of ambient temperature is minified with the help of MZI. Within temperature ran...
متن کاملBandwidth tunable filter based on silicon microring-MZI structure
A novel bandwidth tunable bandpass filter based on a silicon microring-MZI structure is proposed and demonstrated. By thermally tuning the resonance offset between the two microring resonators, and adding the two drop transmissions together, the bandwidth of the microring-MZI filter can be easily linearly tuned with low in-band ripples. Key words—bandwidth tunable; thermal tunable; optical filt...
