摘要:
We propose a compact InGaAsP/InP electro-optic ring modulator operated with coupling modulation that can circumvent the bandwidth limitation and large minimum bend radius of a ring. This device consists of frustrated total internal reflection (TIR) couplers and TIR mirrors serving as 90 degrees waveguide bends, forming the configuration of an asymmetric rectangular Mach-Zehnder interferometer coupled to a square ring resonator (SRR). A discrete-time dynamic model and finite-difference time-domain method are used to evaluate the device performances, and the theoretical results show an operating frequency up to 60 GHz, the maximum extinction ratio of similar to 12 dB, the low electrical energy of similar to 60 fJ/bit, and a compact chip size of similar to 18 mu m x 29 mu m, respectively. The enabling component of the SRR represents > 100-fold footprint reduction on a chip. This compact device can be potentially applied in large-scale InP-based photonic integrated circuits.
