Simulations indicate that our device can provide about 9.5dB extinction ratio with a bandwidth of 10nm, centered at 1.55um, corresponding to extinction ratio per device length of about 3.2dB/μm. ...
Here, we designed, fabricated and characterized a nanophotonic all optical modulator (NOM) in silicon that is an order of magnitude smaller than any previous silicon modulators, and exhibits an extinction ...
One of the disadvantages of DBS is its high computation time. Hence, we chose to parallelize the process using cloud computing on Amazon Web Services servers. ...
