High speed silicon electro-optical modulators enhanced via slow light propagation.
While current optical communication networks efficiently carry and process huge amounts of digital information over large and medium distances, silicon photonics technology has the capacity to meet the ceaselessly increasing demand for bandwidth via energy efficient, inexpensive and mass producible short range optical interconnects. In this context, handling electrical-to-optical data conversio...
متن کاملElectro-optic polymers for high speed modulators
Different electro-optic polymer systems are analyzed with respect to their electro-optic activity, glass transition temperature (Tg) and photodefinable properties. The polymers tested are polysulfone (PS) and polycarbonate (PC). The electro-optic chromophore, tricyanovinylidenediphenylaminobenzene (TCVDPA),which was reported to have a highest photochemical stability [1] has been employed in the...
متن کاملHigh performance silicon optical modulators
In this work we present results from high performance silicon optical modulators produced within the two largest silicon photonics projects in Europe; UK Silicon Photonics (UKSP) and HELIOS. Two conventional MZI based optical modulators featuring novel self-aligned fabrication processes are presented. The first is based in 400nm overlayer SOI and demonstrates 40Gbit/s modulation with the same e...
متن کاملPhotodefinable electro-optic polymer for high-speed modulators
Direct waveguide definition of a negative photoresist (SU8) containing tricyanovinylidenediphenylaminobenzene (TCVDPA) as electro-optic (EO) chromophore, has been demonstrated for the first time. This was possible by utilising the chromophore low absorption window in the UV region allowing crosslinking of the host polymer by exposing to UV light followed by thermal curing. TCVDPA was modified b...
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...
