Hybrid integration of organic materials with silicon waveguides, including the first demonstrations that slot waveguides could be integrated with electrooptic polymers to produce exceptionally low drive voltage modulators

Nonlinear polymer-clad silicon slot waveguide modulator
ABSTRACT

We report on an electro-optic modulator fabricated from a silicon slot waveguide and clad in a nonlinear polymer.
In this geometry, the electrodes form parts of the waveguide, and the modulator driving voltage drops across a 120nm slot. As a result, a half wave voltage of 0.25V is achieved near 1550nm. This is one of the lowest values for any modulator obtained to date. As the nonlinear polymers are extremely resistive, our device also has the advantage of drawing almost no current, suggesting this type of modulator could operate at exceedingly low power.
