Theoretical and experimental investigation of low-volgage and low-loss 25-Gbps Si photonic crystal slow light Mach-Zehnder modulators with interleaved p/n junction

In this study, we investigated the performance of Si lattice-shifted photonic crystal waveguide (LSPCW) Mach-Zehnder modulators theoretically and experimentally. The LSPCW increases the phase shift in modulator to 2.3 - 2.5 times higher, which allows for size reduction and high performance. On-chip...
