Cosmic radiation effect on silicon photonic Mach-Zehnder Modulator

We evaluated the radiation effects of cosmic rays on silicon Mach-Zehnder Modulator loaded on International Space Station. Permanent changes of refractive index (10 −3 ) and carrier lifetime reduction have been observed after 6 months' radiation.
