Ge-on-Si modulators operating at mid-infrared wavelengths up to 8 μm

Ge-on-Si modulators operating at mid-infrared wavelengths up to 8 μm
Ge-on-Si modulators operating at mid-infrared wavelengths up to 8 μm
We report mid-infrared Ge-on-Si waveguide based PIN diode modulators operating at wavelengths of 3.8 μm and 8 μm. Fabricated 1 mm-long electro-absorption devices exhibit a modulation depth of >35 dB with a 7 V forward bias at 3.8 μm, and a similar 1 mm-long Mach-Zehnder modulator has a Vπ·L of 0.47 V·cm. Driven by a 2.5 Vpp RF signal, 60 MHz On-Off Keying modulation was demonstrated. Electro-absorption modulation at 8 μm was demonstrated preliminarily, with the device performance limited by large contact separation and high contact resistance.

Abstract

We report mid-infrared Ge-on-Si waveguide based PIN diode modulators operating at wavelengths of 3.8 μm and 8 μm. Fabricated 1 mm-long electro-absorption devices exhibit a modulation depth of >35 dB with a 7 V forward bias at 3.8 μm, and a similar 1 mm-long Mach-Zehnder modulator has a Vπ·L of 0.47 V·cm. Driven by a 2.5 Vpp RF signal, 60 MHz On-Off Keying modulation was demonstrated. Electro-absorption modulation at 8 μm was demonstrated preliminarily, with the device performance limited by large contact separation and high contact resistance.
