摘要
We propose an electro-optic device in silicon based on a p-i-n-i-p device structure for charge transport. The proposed device exhibits carrier injection time of 10 ps and extraction time of 15 ps enabling 100 GHz operation. When integrated into a resonator the micron-size device operates at 40 Gbit/s with 12 dB extinction ratio and 2.25 fJ/bit/micron-length power dissipation. The proposed device is limited in speed only by the photon lifetime of the resonator. (c) 2007 Optical Society of America.
