Resonant optical modulators beyond conventional energy- efficiency and modulation frequency limitations

چکیده
Abstract: Modulator designs are proposed that can employ arbitrarily high-Q resonators to simultaneously achieve high energy efficiency and distortionless modulation at all (low/high) frequencies by completely decoupling optical cavity dynamics from the modulation frequency response. ©2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (130.4110) Modulators; (130.3120) Integrated optics devices; (230.5750) Resonators.

Numerical Analysis of Mushroom-type Traveling Wave Electroabsorption Modulators Using Full-Vectorial Finite Difference Method
Larger width of P-cladding layer in p-i-n waveguide of traveling wave electroabsorption modulator (TWEAM) results in lower resistance and microwave propagation loss which provides an enhanced high speed electro-optical response. In this paper, a fullvectorial finite-difference-based optical mode solver is presented to analyze mushroom-type TWEAM for the first time. In this analysis, the discont...

متن کاملTheoretical studies of the applications of resonant tunneling diodes as intersubband laser and interband excitonic modulators
We present a theoretical analysis of the optical applications of resonant tunneling diodes. The electronic properties are calculated with a self-consistent traveling-wave model that includes effective-mass mismatches. The interband optical properties are calculated from a 4x4 k-p band structure in the dipole approximation. We fmd that it is possible to operate a conventional device as an inters...
متن کاملRecent Developments and Signal Processing of Low Driving Voltage and High Modulation Efficiency Electro-absorption Modulators (EAMs)
Electro-absorption (EA) modulators are very attractive devices for optical fiber communications because of their very low driving voltage, very high modulation efficiency and integratibility with lasers. However, conventional EA modulators are lumped electrode devices, whose speeds are limited by the total parasitics of the devices, which restricts the devices to very short length for high spee...
