Mid-infrared thermo-optic modulators in SoI

We report experimental results for thermo-optic modulators in silicon-on-insulator (SoI) material operating at the wavelength of 3.8 µm. These devices are based on asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) with aluminum heaters placed above one MZI arm. The SoI rib waveguides with 400-nm Si dev...
