Silicon-Organic Hybrid (SOH) and Plasmonic-Organic Hybrid (POH) Integration
Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2016Co-Authors: Christian Koos, Wim Bogaerts, Juerg Leuthold, Wolfgang Freude, Manfred Kohl, Larry R. Dalton, Anna Lena Giesecke, Matthias Lauermann, Argishti Melikyan, Sebastian KoeberAbstract:Silicon photonics offers tremendous potential for inexpensive high-yield photonic-electronic integration. Besides conventional dielectric waveguides, plasmonic structures can also be efficiently realized on the silicon photonic platform, reducing device footprint by more than an order of magnitude. However, neither silicon nor metals exhibit appreciable second-order optical nonlinearities, thereby making efficient electro-optic modulators challenging to realize. These deficiencies can be overcome by the concepts of silicon-Organic Hybrid (SOH) and plasmonic-Organic Hybrid integration, which combine SOI waveguides and plasmonic nanostructures with Organic electro-optic cladding materials.

Silicon-Organic Hybrid (SOH) integration for low-power and high-speed signal generation
2015 17th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON), 2015Co-Authors: C. Koos, Wim Bogaerts, Juerg Leuthold, Wolfgang Freude, Manfred Kohl, Larry R.

We demonstrate that SOH modulators can be used to generate advanced modulation formats with high symbol rates at low operating voltages and low energy consumption. Moreover, we show that the SOH approach can be extended to plasmonic waveguide structures, leading to the plasmonic-Organic Hybrid (POH) concept.

silicon Organic Hybrid electro optical devices
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics, 2013Co-Authors: Juerg Leuthold, Luca Alloatti, Wolfgang Freude, R. Palmer, C. Koos, Raluca Dinu, D Korn, M Lauermann, Jorg Pfeifle, S WehrliAbstract:Organic materials combined with strongly guiding silicon waveguides open the route to highly efficient electro-optical devices. Modulators based on the so-called silicon-Organic Hybrid (SOH) platform have only recently shown frequency responses up to 100 GHz, high-speed operation beyond 112 Gbit/s with fJ/bit power consumption. In this paper, we review the SOH platform and discuss important devices such as Mach-Zehnder and IQ-modulators based on the linear electro-optic effect. We further show liquid-crystal phase-shifters with a voltage-length product as low as VπL = 0.06 V·mm and sub-μW power consumption as required for slow optical switching or tuning optical filters and devices.

Optics Express, 2009Co-Authors: Thomas Vallaitis, Luca Alloatti, Michelle L Scimeca, Pieter Dumon, Roel Baets, Ivan Biaggio, C. Koos, Siegwart Bogatscher, Francois Diederich, Wolfgang FreudeAbstract:Geometry, nonlinearity, dispersion and two-photon absorption figure of merit of three basic silicon-Organic Hybrid waveguide designs are compared. Four-wave mixing and heterodyne pump-probe measurements show that all designs achieve high nonlinearities. The fundamental limitation of two-photon absorption in silicon is overcome using silicon-Organic Hybrid integration, with a five-fold improvement for the figure of merit (FOM). The value of FOM = 2.19 measured for silicon-compatible nonlinear slot waveguides is the highest value published.
