Title :
Silicon-Organic Hybrid - a compact and energy efficient CMOS compatible active silicon photonic solution
Author_Institution :
ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Abstract :
Organic materials combined with silicon waveguides offer a path to highly efficient electro-optical devices. Modulators based on this technology have already shown frequency responses up to 100 GHz, switching with as little as 0.6 fJ/bit, and operation up to 160 Gbit/s.
