Abstract:
Provided is an optical network structure. To configure an optical network structure between hundreds or more of cores in a CPU, intersection between waveguides does not occur, and thus, the optical network structure enables two-way communication between all the cores without an optical switch disposed in an intersection point. The present invention enables a single chip optical network using a silicon photonics optical element, and a CPU chip configured with hundreds or thousands of cores can be developed.
Abstract:
Provided are an electro-optic device with a high modulation rate and a mach-zehnder optical modulator having the same. The electro-optic device includes a slap, a rip waveguide, a first impurity region, a second impurity region, and a third impurity region. The slap is disposed on a substrate. The rip waveguide includes a mesa extending in one direction on the slap and the slap disposed under the mesa. The first impurity region is disposed in the slap of one side of the mesa. The third impurity region is disposed in the slap of the other side of the mesa to oppose the first impurity region. The second impurity region is disposed in the rip waveguide between the first impurity region and the third impurity region.

Provided is a Mach-Zehnder modulator. The Mach-Zehnder modulator comprises an input wave guide and an output wave guide arranged on a substrate, a first branch wave guide and a second branch wave guide connected in parallel between the input and output wave guides, and a connecting region configured to connect the first branch wave guide and the second branch wave guide. Each of the first and second branch wave guides comprises first doped regions doped with a first dopant and second doped regions doped with a second dopant having different conductivity from the first dopant, and the connecting region is doped with the first dopant and arranged between the first regions of the first and second branch wave guides.

Provided is an electro-optic device. Sine the electro-optic device includes a plurality of first conductive type semiconductor layers and a plurality of depletion layers formed by a third semiconductor disposed between the plurality of first conductive type semiconductor layers, an electro-optic device optimized for a high speed and low power consumption can be provided.
Abstract:
An absorption modulator is provided. The absorption modulator includes a substrate, an insulation layer disposed on the substrate, and a waveguide having a P-I-N diode structure on the insulation layer. Absorptance of an intrinsic region in the P-I-N diode structure is varied when modulating light inputted to the waveguide. The absorption modulator obtains the improved characteristics, such as high speed, low power consumption, and small size, because it greatly reduces the cross-sectional area of the P-I-N diode structure.
Abstract:
Provided is a high-speed ring optical modulator based on a silicon semiconductor, having increased optical modulation speed. The high-speed ring optical modulator includes a ring optical waveguide including a portion in which the refractive index varies, that is, a refractive index variation portion, and an optical waveguide having a constant refractive index. The refractive index variation portion comprises a bipolar transistor. Thus carriers can be supplied to and discharged from the refractive index variation portion, through which light is transmitted, at high speed, and thus the optical modulation speed can be increased.
