| Popis: | A metal-oxide-semiconductor electro-optic modulator is proposed. The modulator is based on silicon-on-insulator technology. The metallic electrodes are positioned in order to minimize the optical absorption losses. This results in the advantages of very small insertion loss of 5.4 dB and very high extinction ratio of 28 dB. Moreover, the modulator design enables future simple fabrication with only one doping mask. The modulator exhibits a very high speed of operation of 100 GHz. The other features of this modulator, such as the size and operating voltage are competitive to other modulators of the same category. |
