Abstract:
Provided is a silicon-based electro-optic modulator that exhibits an improved carrier plasma effect which is capable of realizing a low current density, low power consumption, a high modulation rate, low-voltage driving and high-speed modulation in a sub-micron region. The electro-optic modulator includes a waveguide structure including an Si or SiGe crystal. The electric field direction of light that propagates inside the waveguide structure is set to be approximately parallel with the <110> direction of the Si or SiGe crystal.

Claim (Index 13):
An electro-optic modulator including a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, the Mach-Zehnder interferometer comprising:\n a first arm which is the electro-optic modulator according to  claim 2 ; a second arm which is the electro-optic modulator according to  claim 2  and arranged parallel to the first arm; a light splitting unit which splits light at the input side; and a light combining unit which combines light at the output side, wherein optical intensity modulated signals are generated by performing phase modulation of optical signals in the first and second arms and by causing phase interference by means of the light combining unit.
