摘要
We demonstrate high-speed silicon modulators based on carrier depletion in interleaved pn junctions fabricated on 300mm-SOI wafers using CMOS foundry facilities. 950 mu m-long Mach Zehnder (MZ) and ring resonator (RR) modulator with a 100 mu m radius, were designed, fabricated and characterized. 40 Gbit/s data transmission has been demonstrated for both devices. The MZ modulator exhibited a high extinction ratio of 7.9 dB with only 4 dB on-chip losses at the operating point. (c) 2013 Optical Society of America
