Abstract :
We analyze silicon coupled-microring resonators-based electro-optic switching using injection-type p-i-n diodes. Numerical simulations and modeling suggest electronic-logic lightwave switching by applying two electrical data streams. We observe non-reciprocity between states (0, 1) and (1, 0).
