Title: High‐Speed Modulator Based on Electro‐Optic Polymer Infiltrated Subwavelength Grating Waveguide Ring Resonator

Abstract

Abstract Silicon‐organic hybrid integrated devices show great potential in high‐speed optical interconnects and sensors. In this paper, a high‐speed modulator based on an electro‐optic (EO) polymer (SEO125) infiltrated sub‐wavelength grating (SWG) waveguide ring resonator is presented. The core of the SWG waveguide consists of periodically arranged silicon pillars along the light propagation direction, which provides large mode volume overlap with EO polymer. The optimized SWG shows a mode volume overlap of 36.2% with a silicon duty cycle of 0.7. The 3‐dB modulation bandwidth of the fabricated modulator is measured to be larger than 40 GHz occupying an area of 70 μm x 29 μm, which is the largest bandwidth and the most compact footprint that has been demonstrated for ring resonators on the silicon‐organic hybrid platform.

Ultra-thin silicon/electro-optic polymer hybrid waveguide modulators

Journal Article Qiu, Feng ; Spring, Andrew M. ; Sato, Hiromu ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Ultra-thin silicon and electro-optic (EO) polymer hybrid waveguide modulators have been designed and fabricated. The waveguide consists of a silicon core with a thickness of 30 nm and a width of 2 μm. The cladding is an EO polymer. Optical mode calculation reveals that 55% of the optical field around the silicon extends into the EO polymer in the TE mode. A Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) modulator was prepared using common coplanar electrodes. The measured half-wave voltage of the MZI with 7 μm spacing and 1.3 cm long electrodes is 4.6 V at 1550 nm. The evaluated EO coefficient is 70 pm/V, which is comparable to that ofmore »« less

Multi-scale modeling methods are employed to assist in the design of improved organic electro-optic (OEO) materials, including simulating the effects of the interaction of such materials with the electrodes of silicon organic hybrid (SOH) and plasmonic organic hybrid (POH) nanoscopic waveguide devices. Theoretical methods have promoted the evolution of OEO materials from low number density chromophore-polymer guest-host composites and chromophores covalently attached to traditional polymer matrices to custom designed high chromophore number density macromolecular materials with controlled intermolecular interactions and reduced matrix dimensionality. New OEO materials exhibit electrooptic activity of 500-600 pm/V in electrically-poled μm thick films and 90-350 pm/Vmore »« less

High quality factor subwavelength grating waveguide micro-ring resonator based on trapezoidal silicon pillars

Journal Article Wang, Zheng ; Xu, Xiaochuan ; Fan, Donglei ; ... - Optics Letters

Subwavelength grating waveguide-based micro-ring resonators (SWGMRs) are a promising platform for research in light–matter interaction. However, it is extremely difficult to achieve small radius SWGMR devices (e.g., 5 μm) with satisfying quality factors (e.g., ~10,000). One major issue is the large bend loss of small radius SWGMRs. In this work, we report the use of trapezoidal silicon pillars instead of conventional rectangular silicon pillars as building blocks of SWGMRs. We found that an asymmetric effective refractive index profile created by trapezoidal silicon pillars can significantly reduce the bend loss and therefore increase the quality factors of SWGMRs. For the firstmore »« less

Geometrical tuning art for entirely subwavelength grating waveguide based integrated photonics circuits

Journal Article Wang, Zheng ; Xu, Xiaochuan ; Fan, Donglei ; ... - Scientific Reports

Here, subwavelength grating (SWG) waveguide is an intriguing alternative to conventional optical waveguides due to the extra degree of freedom it offers in tuning a few important waveguide properties, such as dispersion and refractive index. Devices based on SWG waveguides have demonstrated impressive performances compared to conventional waveguides. However, the high loss of SWG waveguide bends jeopardizes their applications in integrated photonic circuits. In this work, we propose a geometrical tuning art, which realizes a pre-distorted refractive index profile in SWG waveguide bends. The pre-distorted refractive index profile can effectively reduce the mode mismatch and radiation loss simultaneously, thus significantlymore »« less

Anisotropic leaky-like perturbation with subwavelength gratings enables zero crosstalk

Journal Article Kabir, Md Faiyaz ; Mia, Md Borhan ; Ahmed, Ishtiaque ; ... - Light, Science & Applications

Abstract Electromagnetic coupling via an evanescent field or radiative wave is a primary characteristic of light, allowing optical signal/power transfer in a photonic circuit but limiting integration density. A leaky mode, which combines both evanescent field and radiative wave, causes stronger coupling and is thus considered not ideal for dense integration. Here we show that a leaky oscillation with anisotropic perturbation rather can achieve completely zero crosstalk realized by subwavelength grating (SWG) metamaterials. The oscillating fields in the SWGs enable coupling coefficients in each direction to counteract each other, resulting in completely zero crosstalk. We experimentally demonstrate such an extraordinarilymore »« less
