Low Power Mach-Zehnder Modulator in Silicon-Organic Hybrid Technology

We report on a silicon-organic hybrid modulator based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) operating at 10 Gbit/s with an energy consumption of 320 fJ/bit. The device consists of a striploaded slot waveguide covered with an electro-optic polymer cladding. The MZI modulator is poled to be driven in...
