    Abstract: Methods and systems for a low-parasitic silicon high-speed phase modulator are disclosed and may include fabricating an optical phase modulator that comprises a PN junction waveguide formed in a silicon layer, wherein the silicon layer may be on an oxide layer and the oxide layer may be on a silicon substrate. The PN junction waveguide may have p-doped and n-doped regions on opposite sides along a length of the PN junction waveguide, and portions of the p-doped and n-doped regions may be removed. Contacts may be formed on remaining portions of the p-doped and n-doped regions. Portions of the p-doped and n-doped regions may be removed symmetrically about the PN junction waveguide. Portions of the p-doped and n-doped regions may be removed in a staggered fashion along the length of the PN junction waveguide. Etch transition features may be removed along the p-doped and n-doped regions.

    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.
