Abstract:This paper demonstrates, via simulation, an electro-optic modulator based on a subwavelength Fabry-Perot resonator cavity with ultra-low power consumption. The device is modulated at a doped p-i-n junction overlapping the cavity in a silicon waveguide perforated with etched holes, with the doping area optimized for minimum power consumption. The surface area of the entire device is only 2.1 µm 2 . Our optical and electrical simulations demonstrate a resonance peak shift of 12 nm with 0.5 mW power consumption. … Show more
