Popis: Here in this work, we study the electro-refractive modulation of CVD grown single layer graphene placed on top of a silicon microring resonator biased using a polymer electrolyte gate. A voltage length product for a phase shift of π, VπL = 2.7 Vmm has been extracted, which is better compared to silicon depletion horizontal and interleaved pn junction type phase modulators and competitive with Silicon-Insulator-Silicon Capacitor modulators.
