Slow-Light-Enhanced Silicon Optical Modulators Under Low-Drive-Voltage Operation
Antoine Brimont,A. M. Gutierrez,M. Aamer,D. J. Thomson,Frederic Y. Gardes,J-M. Fedeli,Graham T. Reed,Javier Martí,Pablo Sanchis +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors exploit the use of slow light to reduce the driving voltage of carrier-depletion-based Mach-Zehnder modulators and achieve a modulation efficiency as high as VπLπ ~ 0.6 V·cm with a 1.5 Vpp drive voltage and an insertion loss of ~12 dB.

Analytical Model for Calculating the Nonlinear Distortion in Silicon-Based Electro-Optic Mach–Zehnder Modulators
A. M. Gutierrez,Antione Brimont,Javier Herrera,M. Aamer,D. J. Thomson,Frederic Y. Gardes,Graham T. Reed,Jean-Marc Fedeli,Pablo Sanchis +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical model for calculating the nonlinear harmonic/intermodulation distortion for RF signals in silicon-based electro-optic modulators is investigated by considering the non-linearity on the effective index change curve with the operation point and the device structure simultaneously.
10 Gbit/s error-free DPSK modulation using a push–pull dual-drive silicon modulator
M. Aamer,D. J. Thomson,A. M. Gutierrez,Antoine Brimont,Frederic Y. Gardes,Graham T. Reed,J-M. Fedeli,Andreas Håkansson,Pablo Sanchis +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a high-speed differential phase shift keying (DPSK) modulation using a silicon push-pull operated dual-drive Mach Zehnder modulator (MZM) based on carrier depletion is demonstrated.

Increased sensitivity through maximizing the extinction ratio of SOI delay-interferometer receiver for 10G DPSK
TL;DR: An optimized design for a 10G- differential-phase-shift-keyed (DPSK) receiver based on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) unbalanced tunable Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) switch in sequence with a Mach- zehnder delay interferometers (MZDI) is presented.
