The nonlinear optics of Si photonic wires is discussed. The distinctive features of these
waveguides are that they have extremely large third-order susceptibility χ (3) and dispersive …

The many and diverse approaches to materials science problems have greatly enhanced
our ability to engineer the physical properties of semiconductors. Silicon, of all …

We provide detailed analysis of a four terminal p+ pnn+ optical modulator integrated into a
silicon-on-insulator (SOI) rib waveguide. The proposed depletion device has been designed …

We propose and analyze an electrically modulated silicon-on-insulator (SOI) submicrometer-
size high-index-contrast waveguide. The geometry of the waveguide provides high lateral …

We analyze, from a theoretical point of view, a novel silicon optical amplitude-phase
modulator integrated into a SOI (silicon on insulator) optical waveguide and based on a …

We experimentally demonstrate a micron-size electro-optic modulator using a high-index-
contrast silicon Fabry-Pérot resonator cavity. This compact device consists of a 1-D cavity …

In this paper, we propose and analyze a novel compact electrooptic modulator on a silicon-
on-insulator (SOI) rib waveguide. The device confines both optical field and charge carriers …

We have demonstrated both rise and fall times below 1 μs with 10%-90% modulation in a
silicon-on-insulator thermooptical Mach-Zehnder switch. The switch is based on 9-μm-thick …

Si based optoelectronic devices have recently successfully entered the market of optical
communications. This fact is stimulating renewed efforts in the design of optoelectronic …
