In recent years, optical modulators, photodetectors,(de) multiplexers, and heterogeneously
integrated lasers based on silicon optical platforms have been verified. The performance of …

As an important optoelectronic integration platform, silicon photonics has achieved
significant progress in recent years, demonstrating the advantages on low power …

Fundamental limiting factors regarding high-speed performance of broadband depletion-
type silicon (Si) Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZMs) are studied. Optical and electrical …

We characterize the modulation linearity of a silicon Mach-Zehnder modulator with a single-
drive push-pull configuration. The 3-dB electro-optic bandwidths of the modulator are 15 and …

We report on our recent progress on Si Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZMs) incorporating sub-
100 μm slow-light photonic crystal waveguide (PCW) phase-shifters. In the standard MZM …

Using full three-dimensional analysis we show that coupled periodic optical waveguides can
exhibit a giant slow light resonance associated with a degenerate photonic band edge. We …

We experimentally demonstrate degenerate band edge resonances in periodic Si ridge
waveguides that are compatible with carrier injection modulation for active electro-optical …

We present the design, fabrication, and measurement of a high-speed carrier-depletion
silicon optical modulator based on Mach–Zehnder Interferometer structure. Based on an …

In this study, an analytical model for calculating the nonlinear harmonic/intermodulation
distortion for RF signals in silicon-based electro-optic modulators is investigated by …

Slow light is a very important concept in nanophotonics, especially in the context of photonic
crystals. In this work, we apply our previous design of band-edge slow light in silicon …
