Abstract :
We present a high-speed silicon microring resonator with misalignment-tolerant interleaved p-n junctions. Moderate doping concentration of 2×1017 cm-3 results in a VπL of 0.98 V·cm and a total propagation loss of <;17 dB/cm. 8 GHz modulation bandwidth and ~30 GHz electric RC bandwidth are experimentally demonstrated.
