摘要
We demonstrate a silicon electro-optic modulator using a 10-micron- diameter microdisk resonator with a laterally integrated p-i-n diode surrounding essentially the entire microdisk. Our experiments reveal a modulation bandwidth of 510 MHz using a Q similar to 16,900 resonance mode under a square-wave drive voltage of similar to 0.9 V forward bias and similar to- 6 V reverse bias.
