Enhanced electro-optic phase shifts in suspended waveguides.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate enhanced electro-optic phase shifts in suspended InGaAs/InGaAsP quantum well waveguides compared to attached waveguides. The enhancement stems from an improved overlap between the optical mode and the multiple quantum well layers in thin waveguides when the semiconductor material beneath the waveguide is selectively etched. The measured voltage length product is 0.41 V-cm and the measured propagation loss is 2.3 +/- 0.7 dB/cm for the TE mode in the optical L-band.

Electro-optic and electro-absorption characterization of InAs quantum dot waveguides.
Optical properties of multilayer InAs quantum dot waveguides, grown by molecular beam epitaxy, have been studied under applied electric field. Fabry-Perot measurements at 1515 nm on InAs/GaAs quantum dot structures yield a significantly enhanced linear electro-optic efficiency compared to bulk GaAs. Electro-absorption measurements at 1300 nm showed increased absorption with applied field accomp...

The electro-optic effect and phase modulation in Ino.2 Gall.s As/GaAs multiple quantum wens have been experimentally studied for the first time. The experiments were done with 1.06 and 1.15 fim photoexcitation which are, respectively, 25 and 115 meV below tbe electron-heavy hole excitonic resonance. Strong quadratic electro-optic effect was observed near the excitonic edge in addition to the li...

This paper presents an overview of integrated optical signal routing based on the principle of electro-optic effects. There are some specific types of materials whose refractive index changes due to the application of the electric field. Lithium-niobate (LiNbO 3) and gallium arsenide are some important electro-optic materials. Due to the application of the voltage across electrode present in on...
متن کاملLight-enhanced electro-optic spectral tuning in annealed proton-exchanged periodically poled lithium niobate channel waveguides.
We report the observation of light-enhanced electro-optic spectral tuning in annealed proton-exchanged, asymmetric domain-duty-cycle periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) channel waveguides for second-harmonic generation. The spectral tuning rate was increased rapidly from 0.07 nm/(kV/mm) to a saturated value of 0.32 nm/(kV/mm) in a 30%/70% domain-duty-cycle PPLN waveguide when the fundamen...
متن کاملUltra-wide detuning planar Bragg grating fabrication technique based on direct UV grating writing with electro-optic phase modulation.
A direct UV grating writing technique based on phase-controlled interferometry is proposed and demonstrated in a silica-on-silicon platform, with a wider wavelength detuning range than any previously reported UV writing technology. Electro-optic phase modulation of one beam in the interferometer is used to manipulate the fringe pattern and thus control the parameters of the Bragg gratings and w...
