A silicon microring resonator-loaded Mach-Zehnder modulator with an interleaved PN junction is fabricated and its static modulation characteristics are investigated. The halfwave voltage and phase shifter length is markedly reduced by incorporating the phase shift enhancement effect in the microring resonator and the interleaved PN junction.
We demonstrate low-driving power silicon microring Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZMs) driven by thermo-optic effect. The multiple-wavelength modulation is realized using a cascaded microring MZM. The driving voltage is reduced up-to 1/6 in a push-pull microring MZM.
We experimentally demonstrate the low-driving power/voltage characteristics of a cascaded push-pull microring Mach-Zehnder modulator (MRR MZM) for multiple-wavelength modulation and a 4 ×4 switch using silicon microring loaded MZ interferometers driven by thermo-optic effect. The driving voltage is reduced up-to 1/3 in the MZM and power up-to 1/2 in the switch.
We demonstrate a single silicon microring resonator Mach-Zehnder modulator driven by thermo-optic effect. The proposed modulator was fabricated using CMOS process. The modulation characteristics show that the power consumption can be reduced to one fifteenth.
