    Abstract: An optical modulator is described. This optical modulator may be implemented using silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology. In particular, a semiconductor layer in an SOI platform may include a photonic crystal having a group velocity of light that is less than that of the semiconductor layer. Moreover, an optical modulator (such as a Mach-Zehnder interferometer) may be implemented in the photonic crystal with a vertical junction in the semiconductor layer. During operation of the optical modulator, an input optical signal may be split into two different optical signals that feed two optical waveguides, and then subsequently combined into an output optical signal. Furthermore, during operation, time-varying bias voltages may be applied across the vertical junction in the optical modulator using contacts defined along a lateral direction of the optical modulator.

    Abstract: A hybrid optical source includes a substrate with an optical amplifier (such as a III-V semiconductor optical amplifier). The substrate is coupled at an angle (such as an angle between 0 and 90°) to a silicon-on-insulator chip. In particular, the substrate may be optically coupled to the silicon-on-insulator chip by an optical coupler (such as a diffraction grating or a mirror) that efficiently couples (i.e., with low optical loss) an optical signal into a sub-micron silicon-on-insulator optical waveguide. Moreover, the silicon-on-insulator optical waveguide optically couples the light to a reflector to complete the hybrid optical source.
