Abstract :
We propose active silicon waveguide-coupled octagonal micropillar resonator modulators using metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors. Our initial electrical and optical simulations suggest a high-extinction ratio resonance modulation by selectively embedding capacitors along the octagonal micropillar rim region.
