Abstract :
We show full 3D simulation and fabrication of an active silicon-based photonic crystal chromatic dispersion compensator with high power efficiency and low power consumption. The device makes use of a novel structure where optical waveguiding and electrical transport properties can be individually tailored to a large extent.
