The device is modeled based on a silicon-on- insulator wafer with a compact surface area of 16 μm2 (4 μm × 4 μm) and the modulation is achieved by resonance peak shift caused by carrier injection-based refractive index perturbation. It is shown via numerical study that the modulation speed of the device hits 2.9 GHz and 3 dB frequency around 4 GHz, while the DC power consumption is only 17.3 mW. An optimum modulation depth of 5.7 dB was found after tuning the optical confinement of the cavity. © 2009 Optical Society of America. | Source Title: | Journal of the Optical Society of America B: Optical Physics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/83184 | ISSN: | 07403224 | DOI: | 10.1364/JOSAB.26.002176 |
