Experimental quantification of the free-carrier effect in silicon waveguides at extended wavelengths.

Abstract

We examine the electro-optic effect at wavelengths ranging from 1.31 to 2.02 μm for: (1) an Electronic Variable Optical Attenuator (EVOA); and (2) a Micro-Ring Resonator (MRR). For the EVOA, simulations were performed to ascertain the relationship between free-carrier concentration and optical attenuation, and are in agreement with our observation of an increase in attenuation with increasing wavelength. MRRs were fabricated for use around …
