  • coupling enhanced dual ito layer electro absorption modulator in silicon photonics
    arXiv: Applied Physics, 2019
    Co-Authors: Mohammad H Tahersima, Ray T Chen, Yaliang Gui, Shuai Sun, Hao Wang, Rubab Amin, Hamed Dalir, Mario Miscuglio, Volker J Sorger
    Abstract:

    Electro-optic signal modulation provides a key functionality in modern technology and information networks. Photonic integration has enabled not only miniaturizing photonic components, but also provided performance improvements due to co-design addressing both electrical and optical device rules. However, the millimeter-to-centimeter large footprint of many foundry-ready photonic electro-optic Modulators significantly limits on-chip scaling density. To address these limitations, here we experimentally demonstrate a coupling-enhanced electro-absorption modulator by heterogeneously integrating a novel dual-gated indium-tin-oxide (ITO) phase-shifting tunable absorber placed at a silicon directional coupler region. Our experimental modulator shows a 2 dB extinction ratio for a just 4 um short device at 4 volt bias. Since no material nor optical resonances are deployed, this device shows spectrally broadband operation as demonstrated here across the entire C-band. In conclusion we demonstrate a modulator utilizing strong index-change from both real and imaginary part of active material enabling compact and high-performing Modulators using semiconductor foundry-near materials.

  • polymer based hybrid integrated photonic devices for silicon on chip modulation and board level optical interconnects
    arXiv: Optics, 2014
    Co-Authors: Xingyu Zhang, Amir Hosseini, Xiaohui Lin, Harish Subbaraman, Ray T Chen
    Abstract:

    The accelerating increase in information traffic demands the expansion of optical access network systems that require cost reduction of optical and photonic components. Low cost, ease of fabrication, and integration capabilities of low optical-loss polymers make them attractive for photonic applications. In addition to passive wave-guiding components, electro-optic (EO) polymers consisting of a polymeric matrix doped with organic nonlinear chromophores have enabled wide-RF-bandwidth and low-power optical Modulators. Beside board level passive and active optical components, compact on-chip Modulators (a few 100 micronmeters to a few millimeters) have been made possible by hybrid integration of EO polymers onto the silicon platform. This paper summarizes some of the recent progress in polymer based optical Modulators and interconnects. A highly linear, broadband directional coupler modulator for use in analog optical links and compact, and low-power silicon/polymer hybrid slot photonic crystal waveguide Modulators for on chip applications are presented. Recently, cost-effective roll-to-roll fabrication of electronic and photonic systems on flexible substrates has been gaining interest. A low-cost imprinted/ink-jet-printed Mach-Zehnder modulator and board-to-board optical interconnects using microlens integrated 45-degree mirror couplers compatible with the roll-to-roll fabrication platforms are also presented.

  • mesoporous sol gel silica cladding for hybrid tio 2 electro optic polymer waveguide Modulators
    Optics Express, 2014
    Co-Authors: Yasufumi Enami, Yasuhisa Kayaba
    Abstract:

    We report the efficient poling of an electro-optic (EO) polymer in a hybrid TiO2/electro-optic polymer multilayer waveguide modulator on mesoporous sol-gel silica cladding. The mesoporous sol-gel silica has nanometer-sized pores and a low refractive index of 1.24, which improves mode confinement in the 400-nm-thick EO polymer film in the Modulators and prevents optical absorption from the lower Au electrode, thereby resulting in a lower half-wave voltage of the Modulators. The half-wave voltage (Vπ) of the hybrid modulator fabricated on the mesoporous sol-gel silica cladding is 6.0 V for an electrode length (Le) of 5 mm at a wavelength of 1550 nm (VπLe product of 3.0 V·cm) using a low-index guest-host EO polymer (in-device EO coefficient of 75 pm/V).
