چکیده
We demonstrate an all-optical transistor with the modulated output signal simultaneously having an output/input ratio > 3 dB and ON/OFF ratio > 20 dB. The microring based device is ultra-compact and CMOS compatible.

Optical ASK and FSK Modulation By Using Quantum Well Transistor Lasers
In this paper, transistor lasers (TLs) are used as an optical modulator for generation of ASK(Amplitude Shift Keying) and FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) optical signals. Our analysis is based on continuity equation, rate equations, and the theory of discontinuity of quasi-fermi level at the abrupt junction. Our simulation results indicate that, the specification of ASK and FSK optical signals, ar...
متن کاملImprovement of a Nano-scale Silicon on Insulator Field Effect Transistor Performance using Electrode, Doping and Buried Oxide Engineering
In this work, a novel Silicon on Insulator (SOI) MOSFET is proposed and investigated. The drain and source electrode structures are optimized to enhance ON-current while global device temperature and hot carrier injection are decreased. In addition, to create an effective heat passage from channel to outside of the device, a silicon region has embedded in the buried oxide. In order to reduce th...

متن کاملHybrid porphyrin-silicon nanowire field-effect transistor by opto-electrical excitation.
A porphyrin-silicon nanowire (Si-NW) hybrid field-effect transistor is introduced. The hybrid device has separate electrical and optical gates surrounding the Si-NW channel. Porphyrin, a component of chlorophyll, is employed as an optical gate to modulate the potential of the Si-NW channel. Due to the independently formed hybrid gates, both optical and electrical excitation can effectively modu...
