Abstract

See full text

A polymer-clad optical modulator includes a substrate comprising an insulating material; a silicon microring on the substrate; silicon waveguides on the substrate adjacent the silicon microring; an electro-optic polymer covering the silicon microring and the silicon waveguide; and an electrical contact on top of the electro-optic polymer. The silicon microring or a portion of an adjacent silicon layer is lightly doped. A polymer-clad depletion type optical modulator and a polymer-clad carrier injection type optical modulator, each employing the lightly doped silicon microring or an adjacent lightly doped silicon layer, are also described.
