Silicon Organic Hybrid Devices For High Speed Electro Optic Signal Processing

Download or read book Silicon-organic hybrid devices for high-speed electro-optic signal processing written by Lauermann, Matthias and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the various elements of the silicon photonics platform, electro-optic IQ modulators play an important role. In this book, silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) integration is used to realize electro-optic IQ modulators for complex signal processing. Leveraging the high nonlinearity of organic materials, SOH IQ modulators provide low energy consumption for high-speed data transmission and frequency shifting. Furthermore, the device design is adapted for commercial foundry processes.
