  • Abstract
    A resonantly enhanced modulator structure with cascaded multiple resonant cavities is proposed and analyzed. The microwave effective index of the electrode can be much higher than the optical index. Therefore, the electrode structure can be optimized for high modulation efficiency and high resonant enhancement.
