Optimization of Stress-Induced Pockels Effect in Silicon Waveguides for Optical Modulators

Abstract

A method for the optimization of strain-induced Pockels effect in silicon waveguides is proposed. We introduce a new figure of merit and show a 35% enhancement in FOM compared to most efficient reported devices.
