Compact Mach-Zehnder interferometer based on self-collimation of light in a silicon photonic crystal.
We demonstrate a compact silicon photonic crystal Mach-Zehnder interferometer operating in the self-collimation regime. By tailoring the photonic band structure such as to produce self-collimated beams, it is possible to design beam splitters and mirrors and combine these to a 20 x 20 microm(2) format. With transmission spectroscopy we find a pronounced unidirectional optical output, the output...
متن کاملSilicon-On-Insulator-Based Photonic-Crystal Mach-Zehnder Interferometers
Si nanophotonics is anticipated to play a critical role in the future ultra-compact system integration due to the maturity of sub-micron silicon complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Photonic crystals (PhCs) provide a promising platform for developing novel optoelectronic devices with significantly reduced device size and power consumption. The active control of photonic cr...
متن کاملHigh speed hybrid silicon evanescent Mach-Zehnder modulator and switch.
We demonstrate the first high speed silicon evanescent Mach Zehnder modulator and switch. The modulator utilizes carrier depletion within AlGaInAs quantum wells to obtain V(pi) L of 2 V-mm and clear open eye at 10 Gb/s. The switch exhibits a power penalty of 0.5 dB for all ports at 10 Gb/s modulation.

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 کاملMach–Zehnder–Fano interferometer
We introduce a concept of the Mach–Zehnder–Fano interferometer by inserting a cavity exhibiting Fano resonance into a conventional interferometer. By employing the scattering-matrix approach, we demonstrate that the transmission becomes sensitive to a position of the cavity such that an asymmetric structure exhibits a series of narrow resonances with almost perfect reflection. We discuss how to...
