Low-voltage differentially-signaled modulators.
For exascale computing applications, viable optical solutions will need to operate using low voltage signaling and with low power consumption. In this work, the first differentially signaled silicon resonator is demonstrated which can provide a 5dB extinction ratio using 3fJ/bit and 500mV signal amplitude at 10Gbps. Modulation with asymmetric voltage amplitudes as low as 150mV with 3dB extincti...
متن کاملLow voltage blue phase liquid crystal for spatial light modulators.
We demonstrated a low-voltage polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) for phase-only modulation with a liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCoS). A new device configuration was developed, which allows the incident laser beam to traverse the BPLC layer four times before exiting the LCoS. As a result, the 2π phase change voltage is reduced to below 24 V in the visible region. The response time...
متن کاملAnalog Characterization of Low-Voltage MQW Traveling-Wave Electroabsorption Modulators
In this paper, high-speed traveling-wave electroabsorption modulators (TW-EAMs) with strain-compensated InGaAsP multiple quantum wells as the absorption region for analog optical links have been developed. A record-high slope efficiency of 4/V, which is equivalent to a Mach–Zehnder modulator with a of 0.37 V and a high extinction ratio of 30 dB/V have been measured. A detailed study of the nonl...
متن کاملLow-power Design of Low-voltage Current-mode Integrators for Continuous-time Modulators
—In this paper, we present a method to design low-power low-voltage current-mirror based integrators for continuous-time modulators. It is shown that, by proper biasing of the mirror transistors, very high modulation index can be achieved at low-voltage supply. Careful analysis of the current-mode integrator shows that there exists an optimum supply voltage for minimum power consumption. Simula...
متن کاملVoltage Droop Compensation for Marx Modulators*
Marx modulators operated by solid-state switches (e.g. MOSFET, IGBT) offer an alternative to traditional high voltage (HV) modulators for rf power sources. They have the merits of compact size, high-energy efficiency, high reliability, pulse width control and cost reduction. However, Marx modulators need a complex voltage compensation circuit if they are employed in long pulse applications such...
