Abstract

For the first time, we present an electro-optic slot waveguide phase modulator on the InP membrane on Silicon (IMOS) platform. Low-frequency characterization of this modulator shows that it can achieve a {V}-{ {pi }} {L}-{ {pi }} product as low as 4.5 V.mm and an extinction ratio equal to 10.6 dB. The 3-dB optical bandwidth of this modulator is measured to be 10.5 GHz. Here, working principles, design, fabrication, measurements, analysis of the electrical and electro-optic performance and prospects of this modulator are presented.
