摘要：

We demonstrate a high-efficiency silicon Mach-Zehnder modulator with U-shaped PN junctions. The depletion region of the U-shaped PN junction has a large overlap with the waveguide optical mode, leading to a low drive voltage. The calculated modulation efficiency is 0.33 V center dot cm at 0 V bias and 0.55 V center dot cm at -2 V bias. On-off keying (OOK) modulation and four-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-4) are achieved at 32 Gb/s and 64 Gb/s data rates under 2 V drive voltage, respectively. The bit error rate for the PAM-4 modulation is below the hard-decision forward error correction threshold of 3.8 x 10(-3).
