Abstract: Methods and systems for a low-voltage integrated silicon high-speed modulator may include an optical modulator comprising first and second optical waveguides and two optical phase shifters, where each of the two optical phase shifters may comprise a p-n junction with a horizontal section and a vertical section and an optical signal is communicated to the first optical waveguide. A portion of the optical signal may then be coupled to the second optical waveguide. A phase of at least one optical signal in the waveguides may be modulated utilizing the optical phase shifters. A portion of the phase modulated optical signals may be coupled between the two waveguides, thereby generating two output signals from the modulator. A modulating signal may be applied to the phase shifters which may include a reverse bias.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a silicon-based optical phase modulator with high modal overlap are disclosed and may include, in an optical modulator having a rib waveguide in which a cross-shaped depletion region separates four alternately doped sections: receiving an optical signal at one end of the optical modulator, modulating the received optical signal by applying a modulating voltage, and communicating a modulated optical signal out of an opposite end of the modulator. The modulator may be in a silicon photonically-enabled integrated circuit which may be in a complementary-metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) die. An optical mode may be centered on the cross-shaped depletion region. The four alternately doped sections may include: a shallow depth p-region, a shallow depth n-region, a deep p-region, and a deep n-region. The shallow depth p-region may be electrically coupled to the deep p-region periodically along the length of the modulator.
