Abstract :
The design and analysis of a novel photonic crystal (PhC) electro-optic (EO) modulator are presented in this paper. The device incorporates an EO polymer slot waveguide into the center of a silicon PhC waveguide. In this device, strong optical confinement in EO polymer core and small group velocity by PhC structure provide a surprise enhancement of EO effect.
