Abstract
Electro-optic modulators are critical building blocks for many signal processing systems which adhere to requirements given by both electrical and optical constraints. We present recently developed nanophotonic electro-optic devices enabling the next generation of electro-optic modulators featuring a significantly improved device performance regarding modulation efficiency (VπL < 1 Vmm), device footprint (< 1 mm2) and bandwidth (> 100 GHz). These novel high-performance nanophotonic electro-optic modulators and switches are based on transparent conducting oxides (ITO) which provide the critical material properties for practical deployment in future electro-optic modulation applications.
