摘要
Silicon p(+)-i-n(+) diode Mach-Zehnder electrooptic modulators having an ultra-compact length of 100 to 200 mu m are presented. These devices exhibit high modulation efficiency, with a V mu.L figure of merit of 0.36 V-mm. Optical modulation at data rates up to 10 Gb/s is demonstrated with low RF power consumption of only 5 pJ/bit. (C) 2007 Optical Society of America.
