  • Abstract
    We characterize free carrier effects in silicon waveguides due to electronic non-idealities such as dielectric fixed charges and interface states, independently considering SiO2, SiNx and Al2O3 cladding layers. These effects are shown to impact both the passive and active properties of silicon waveguides.
