Hybrid amorphous silicon (a-Si_H)–LiNbO3 electro-optic modulator
Here we report the demonstration of a GHz-speed Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3) modulator that uses an amorphous Silicon waveguide to strongly confine light. The compact (o1 mm) modulator is realized by low-temperature deposition of hydrogenated amorphous Silicon (a-Si:H) onto a x-cut LiNbO3 substrate. The a-Si:H provides tight waveguide mode confinement while allowing strong evanescent coupling to th...

InAlAs/InGaAs Modulation-Doped Field-Effect Transistors (MODFETs) on InP have recently emerged as an optimum choice for a variety of microwave and photonics applications. This is because the outstanding transport properties of InGaAs have yielded devices with very low-noise and high-frequency characteristics. Unfortunately, the low breakdown voltage of InAlAs/InGaAs MODFETs on InP (typically le...
