    摘要: A thermally stabilized, high speed, micrometer-scale silicon electro-optic modulator is provided. Methods for maintaining desired temperatures in electro-optic modulators are also provided. The methods can be used to maintain high quality modulation in the presence of thermal variations from the surroundings. Direct current injection into the thermally stabilized electro-optic modulator is used to maintain the modulation performance of the modulator. The direct injected current changes the local temperature of the thermally stabilized electro-optic modulator to maintain its operation over a wide temperature range.

    摘要: An electro-optic modulator structure, a method for fabricating the electro-optic modulator structure, a method for operating an electro-optic modulator device that derives from the electro-optic modulator structure and a related communications apparatus that includes the electro-optic modulator structure all are directed towards effecting a comparatively low voltage operation of the electro-optic modulator device predicated upon consideration of optimal charge carrier injection efficiency characteristics of a PIN diode charge carrier injection based micro-ring electro-optic modulator structure as a function of applied bias voltage. To realize the foregoing result, at least in part, the PIN diode charge carrier injection based electro-optic modulator structure includes at least one of a p-doped region and an n-doped region that has a relatively high volume dopant concentration at a surface thereof.

    摘要: A doping profile for a modulator facilitates rapidly changing the carrier density in a waveguide. The carrier density change causes rapid changes in the index of refraction of the waveguide. Example modulators include a ring modulator and a Mach Zender modulator. A charge reciprocating section may be provided to control the amount of injected charge.

    摘要: An optical switch structure and a method for fabricating the optical switch structure provide at least two ring waveguides located and formed supported over a substrate. At least one of the at least two ring waveguides includes at least one PIN diode integral with the ring waveguide as a tuning component for an optical switch device that derives from the optical switch structure. The PIN diode includes different doped silicon slab regions internal to and external to the ring waveguide, and an intrinsic region there between that includes the ring waveguide. The method uses two photolithographic process steps, and also preferably a silicon-on-insulator substrate, to provide the ring waveguides formed of a monocrystalline silicon semiconductor material.
