Ultrafast all-optical graphene modulator.
Graphene is an optical material of unusual characteristics because of its linearly dispersive conduction and valence bands and the strong interband transitions. It allows broadband light-matter interactions with ultrafast responses and can be readily pasted to surfaces of functional structures for photonic and optoelectronic applications. Recently, graphene-based optical modulators have been de...
متن کاملUltrafast, All-Silicon Light Modulator
The ability to send high-speed messages between integrated circuit devices requires both high-frequency receivers and transmitters. The vast majority of integrated circuits are made from silicon-based semiconductors. Suitable receivers of silicon integrated circuits can be constructed from either metal-semiconductor-metal photodiodesl or P-type, intrinsic, N-type (PIN) photodiodes. These receiv...
متن کاملQuantum coherence in an optical modulator.
Semiconductor quantum well electroabsorption modulators are widely used to modulate near-infrared (NIR) radiation at frequencies below 0.1 terahertz (THz). Here, the NIR absorption of undoped quantum wells was modulated by strong electric fields with frequencies between 1.5 and 3.9 THz. The THz field coupled two excited states (excitons) of the quantum wells, as manifested by a new THz frequenc...
متن کاملUltrafast integrated semiconductor optical modulator based on the plasma-dispersion effect.
We demonstrate integrated semiconductor optical devices with ultrafast temporal responses based on the plasma-dispersion effect. The geometry of the devices removes the dependence of the modulation time on the free-carrier dynamics. We present the theoretical analysis of the performance of such devices. We show that a silicon-based device with a free-carrier lifetime of 1.4 ns can be modulated ...
متن کاملUltrafast Optical Pulses
Ultrafast pulses on the femtosecond time scale allow fundamental processes, such as atomic transitions, to be measured. To investigate the formation of optical pulses, an argon ion laser was used to pump a titanium-doped sapphire laser. The mode-locked output of this laser was measured with a spectrometer and an autocorrelator to find a frequency pulse width of σω = 86 ± 3 rad/ps and a temporal...
