چکیده
A novel ultracompact electro-optic phase modulator based on a single 9 μm-diameter III-V microdisk resonator heterogeneously integrated on and coupled to a nanophotonic waveguide is presented. Modulation is enabled by effective index modification through carrier injection. Proof-of-concept implementation involving binary phase shift keying modulation format is assembled. A power imbalance of ∼0.6 dB between both symbols and a modulation rate up to 1.8 Gbps are demonstrated without using any special driving technique.

Carrier-injection-based electro-optic modulator on silicon-on-insulator with a heterogeneously integrated III-V microdisk cavity.
A compact electro-optic modulator on silicon-on-insulator is presented. The structure consists of a III-V microdisk cavity heterogeneously integrated on a silicon-on-insulator wire waveguide. By modulating the loss of the active layer included in the cavity through carrier injection, the power of the transmitted light at the resonant wavelength is modulated; approximately 10 dB extinction ratio...
متن کاملSilicon Photonics Research in Hong Kong: Microresonator Devices and Optical Nonlinearities
In this review paper we showcase recent activities on silicon photonics science and technology research in Hong Kong regarding two important topical areas — microresonator devices and optical nonlinearities. Our work on silicon microresonator filters, switches and modulators have shown promise for the nascent development of on-chip optoelectronic signal processing systems, while our studies on ...
متن کاملFully tunable microwave photonic phase shifter for broadband signals based on a single heterogeneously integrated III-V-on-Silicon microdisk resonator
We present a novel broadband microwave photonic phase shifter based on a single III-V microdisk resonator heterogeneously integrated on a silicon-on-insulator waveguide. Fully 2π phase shift tunability is accomplished by free-carrierinduced effective index modulation.
متن کاملHigh-Q lithium niobate microdisk resonators on a chip for efficient electro-optic modulation.
Lithium niobate (LN) microdisk resonators on a LN-silica-LN chip were fabricated using only conventional semiconductor fabrication processes. The quality factor of the LN resonator with a 39.6-μm radius and a 0.5-μm thickness is up to 1.19 × 10(6), which doubles the record of the quality factor 4.84 × 10(5) of LN resonators produced by microfabrication methods allowing batch production. Electro...
