Compact models for carrier-injection silicon microring modulators.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose compact DC and small-signal models for carrier-injection microring modulators that accurately describe the DC characteristics (resonance wavelength, quality factor, and extinction ratio) and the high frequency performance. The proposed theoretical models provide physical insights of the carrier-injection microring modulators with a variety of designs. The DC and small-signal models are implemented in Verilog-A for SPICE-compatible simulations.

متن کاملMaximally Confined Silicon Microring and Microdisk Modulators and Switches
Silicon resonant microdisk and microring modulators and switches based on free-carrier depletion and injection were designed and fabricated with the aim of minimizing device radius to theoretical bend-radiation imposed limits. Minimizing device area serves to simultaneously maximize resonator free-spectral-range, minimize switching energy, and maximize component density, all critical parameters...
متن کاملUltra high bandwidth WDM using silicon microring modulators.
We report 50 Gbit/s modulation capability using four silicon micro ring modulators within a footprint of 500 microm(2). This is the highest total modulation capability shown in silicon using compact micro-ring modulators. Using the proposed techniques, silicon nanophotonic bandwidths can meet the requirements of future CMOS interconnects by using multiple wavelengths to extend beyond single dev...
متن کاملMonolithic modulator and demodulator of differential quadrature phase-shift keying signals based on silicon microrings.
Silicon microring resonators are proposed to achieve ultrasmall differential quadrature phase-shift keying modulators and demodulators operated at 20 Gb/s, which may require a dramatically reduced chip size. The modulators are characterized in terms of the carrier transit time and misalignment of the driving signals, while the demodulation performance is analyzed in terms of the bandwidth and f...
متن کاملSilicon microring resonators with 1.5-μm radius
We demonstrate a junction between a silicon strip waveguide and an ultra-compact silicon microring resonator that minimizes spurious light scattering and increases the critical dimensions of the geometry. We show cascaded silicon microring resonators with radii around 1.5 μm and effective mode volumes around 1.0 μm that are critically coupled to a waveguide with coupled Q’s up to 9,000. The rad...
