Hybrid electro-optic modulator combining silicon photonic slot waveguides with high-k radio-frequency slotlines

Sandeep Ummethala et al.

Summary: This paper presents a method for efficient electro-optic modulators using slot-waveguide structures, which overcome the limitations of modulation bandwidth by applying this structure in modulating radio-frequency signals. Experimental results demonstrate excellent performance, providing a new approach towards efficient silicon photonic modulators with sub-1mm device lengths, sub-1V drive voltages, and modulation bandwidths exceeding 100 GHz.

High Baud Rate Transmission With Silicon Photonic Modulators

Fan Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, we focus on the high baud rate operation of silicon photonic modulators for short-reach and metro-haul applications. The current status of devices and digital signal processing is discussed, with a simulation-based study on the design of a carrier-depletion-based dual-drive traveling-wave Mach-Zehnder modulator. Transmission experiments of high baud rate signals using all-silicon modulators show promising results for future optical communication systems operating at 100 Gbaud.
