Ultralow-energy electro-absorption modulator consisting of InGaAsP-embedded photonic-crystal waveguide

Towards realizing highly integrable low-energy optical modulators, the small device capacitance (C) as well as the low driving voltage (Vpp) is demanded for suppressing the charging energy during the dynamic operation. Although an electro-absorption modulator (EAM) has...
