摘要
A high speed silicon Mach-Zehnder modulator is proposed based on interleaved PN junctions. This doping profile enabled both high modulation efficiency of V pi L pi = 1.5 similar to 2.0 V.cm and low doping-induced loss of similar to 10 dB/cm by applying a relatively low doping concentration of 2 x 10(17) cm(-3). High speed operation up to 40 Gbit/s with 7.01 dB extinction ratio was experimentally demonstrated with a short phase shifter of only 750 mu m. (c) 2012 Optical Society of America
