Low-Power consumption Franz-Keldysh effect plasmonic modulator

In this paper we report on a low energy consumption CMOS-compatible plasmonic modulator based on Franz-Keldysh effect in germanium on silicon. We performed integrated electro-optical simulations in order to optimize the main characteristics of the modulator. A 3.3 dB extinction ratio for a 30 µm long modulator is demonstrated under 3 V bias voltage at an operation wavelength of 1647 nm. The estimated energy consumption is as low as 20 fJ/bit

A CMOS-compatible Franz-Keldysh effect plasmonic modulator

We present a design of an optimized CMOS-compatible germanium-on-silicon Franz-Keldysh effect plasmonic modulator. Its length is below 30 μm and the modulator operates at -3V. It features a power consumption as low as 20 fJ/bit
