  • Abstract
    Optical phase-and-amplitude modulation at 1.55 mu m in an electro-optic guided-wave Si/Ge0.2Si0.8/Si HBT is investigated using computer-aided modelling and simulation. At an injection of 1019 electrons per cm3, an intensity modulation of 10 dB is predicted for an active length of 390 mu m.
