摘要
Integrated mid-infrared (MIR) photonics have various applications in optical fiber communication, spectral detection and identification, free-space communication, and light detection and ranging, etc. The MIR electro-optic (EO) modulator, which is one of the key components of MIR integrated photonic systems, has attracted a lot of research interests. In this paper, we review the reported integrated MIR EO modulators based on different modulation mechanisms and material platforms. The recent research progresses and challenges of MIR EO modulators are presented and discussed. The unique advantages and the corresponding applications of each type of MIR modulators are summarized as well. In the end, we provide our perspectives of a few areas in integrated MIR modulators that are worthy for research attention in future.
