We have developed a novel phase modulator, based on fin-type electrodes placed at self-imaging positions of a silicon multimode interference (MMI) waveguide, which allows reduced scattering losses and relaxes the fabrication tolerance. The measured propagation losses and spectral bandwidth are 0.7 dB and 33 nm, respectively, on a 987 μm-long phase shifter. Owing to the self-imaging effect in the MMI waveguide, the wave-front expansion to the electrode was counteracted, and therefore, the scattering loss caused by electrode fins was successfully mitigated. As a proof-of-concept for the MMI-based phase modulator applications, we performed optical modulation based on Mach–Zehnder interferometers (MZIs). The π shift current of the modulator was 1.5 mA.

ABSTRACTOptical waveguide type phase modulators defined by impurities induced disordering (IID) are investigated. To achieve a better optical confinement, a two steps ion implantation process is carried out to introduce additional impurities with respect to depth in the cladding region. A more uniform refractive index profile in deeper lateral confined region is obtained after thermal annealing. The refractive index different between the core and cladding can be adjusted by controlling the extension of interdiffusion in the cladding. This provide tuning of single mode operating region. For present IID phase modulator with 25 period of 100Å/100Å Al0.3Ga0.7As/GaAs multiple quantum wells single mode operating at 0.88//m, a normalized phase shift of 362°/Vmm. chirping parameter of 47, and absorption loss less than 120cm−1 are achieved theoretically.
