Design of a carrier-depletion Mach-Zehnder modulator in 250 nm silicon-on-insulator technology
Maria Felix Rosa,Lotte Rathgeber,Raik Elster,Niklas Hoppe,Thomas Fohn,Martin Schmidt,Wolfgang Vogel,Manfred Berroth +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a single-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator for amplitude modulation in silicon-on-insulator technology with 250 nm active layer thickness is presented. But the performance of this modulator is limited by the free carrier plasma dispersion effect.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Improved Phase Detection in On-Chip Refractometers
TL;DR: In this article, an improved phase detection scheme for Mach-Zehnder and bimodal interferometers is presented, where always two outputs operate at a highly sensitive point and the phase shift-unambiguousness is extended to a range of 2π.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Design of a Broadband Integrated Notch Filter in Silicon Nitride
TL;DR: In this article, a broadband integrated notch filter, using the silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) platform, is presented, which achieves an extinction ratio (ER) of 60 dB and a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 10 nm at the central wavelength (CW) 785 nm.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Enhanced Generalized Mach-Zehnder Interferometer for Tunable Channel Routing
TL;DR: In this article, a switch-fabric for the channel routing is presented which combines the wavelength-separationability of arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) with the tunability of generalized Mach-Zehnder interferometers (GMZIs).
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated dispersive structures for bandwidth-enhancement of silicon grating couplers
Rouven H. Klenk,Christian Schweikert,Niklas Hoppe,Lotte Nagy,Raik Elster,Wolfgang Vogel,Manfred Berroth +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an enhancement of the optical bandwidth of silicon grating couplers by adding integrated dispersive structures is discussed, which are realized by single layers, prism-like geometries and additional silicon nitride gratings.
