  • Abstract
    Strain effect on SiGe-based carrier-injection optical modulators is numerically investigated. Owing to enhancement in free-carrier absorption of strained SiGe, SiGe-based pin-junction optical modulator is predicted to exhibit the 4.7× enhancement of free-carrier absorption against Si.
