Abstract: Design and simulation results are presented for an ultralow switching energy, resonator based silicon-on-insulator (SOI) electro-optical modulator. The nanowire waveguide and resonator are seamlessly integrated via a high-transmission tapered 1D photonic crystal cavity waveguide structure.<br />Prepared in collaboration with the Univ of Massachusetts and Argonne National Lab. Journal article to be published in Optics Express. Sponsored in part by AFOSR.
