A low VπL modulator with GHz bandwidth based on an electro-optic polymer-clad silicon slot waveguide

We demonstrate a near-infrared modulator with a bandwidth exceeding 1GHz, based on a silicon strip-loaded slot waveguide clad in a nonlinear electro-optic polymer. Our device achieves a V π L figure of merit of 0.8V-cm.
