point (LH1-cΓ1) in Ge/Si 0.15 Ge 0.85 multiple quantum wells is demonstrated from both
photocurrent and optical transmission measurements. Our experimental results show a large
and sharp optical absorption peak due to LH1-cΓ1 transitions, and its associated strong
absorption change based on the QCSE. By exploiting LH1-cΓ1 transitions, optical
modulators with improved compactness and competitive extinction ratio and optical loss can …
