  • Abstract
    Electro-optical absorption in alpha-Si:H/alpha-SiCxNy multilayers has been studied in three different planar multistack waveguides realized by PECVD technology. Light absorption is induced at lambda=1.55 mum by carrier accumulation through the application of electric field across the multiple insulator/semiconductor device.
