State of Development

The invention has yet to be physically proven but the underlying physical process has been experimentally demonstrated.


Background

As the demand for bandwidth continues to increase, it will be necessary to deploy low cost optical communication links that are closer to the end user than ever before. Furthermore, as silicon VLSI circuits achieve ever higher data rates, system performance will eventually be limited by standard low-speed chip-to-chip interconnect. Electro-absorption (EA) modulators are key components in optical networks and have recently been considered as solutions to the problem of chip-to-chip interconnect. However, EA modulators are traditionally fabricated in expensive III-V technologies, making them unsuitable for low cost optical systems or for the interconnection of silicon VLSI circuits. Therefore, a silicon based EA modulator, like the one disclosed here, offers significant benefits over traditional III-V EA modulators.
