  • Abstract
    We report an experimental demonstration of a 3X-size, silicon waveguide-integrated electro-optic modulator with a record high extinction ratio exceeding 1dB/μm, extremely low insertion loss (-1dB) in the ON-state, and an ultra-broadband (>;0.5μm) bandwidth based on free-carrier switching in ITO.
