Abstract :
In this letter, a silicon microsphere coupled to a silica optical fiber half coupler has been characterized for electrooptical modulation in the L-band at 1.55 mum. Electrooptical modulation of the transmitted and the 90deg elastic scattered signals for both the TE and the TM polarizations of the microsphere resonances has been observed.
