Abstract :
We show key design guidelines for three types of micro-ring modulators. We find that: (i) the dual-waveguide structure can have a 10-dB higher Q and is tolerant to long transit times, (ii) the induced peak shift can have an optimal value, and (iii) detuning before transmission can decrease penalty 10 dB further.
