High-contrast, large optical bandwidth field-induced guide/antiguide modulator
Abstract
An electric field induced-guide/antiguide optical intensity modulator which has a very wide optical bandwidth from 1 to 1.55/micron which is the largest ever reported before for an intensity modulator. A TE mode ON/OFF ratio larger than 21 dB at 1.15 micron, and a propagation loss about 1 dB at 1.3 micron has been measured. The electrooptic effects, along with carrier effects have been exploited to increase the refractive index under the guide and adjacent antiguide electrodes by applying reverse biases to them.
