  • What is the value of silicon photonics technology

    What is the value of silicon photonics technology

    In a typical optical link, data is first transferred from the electrical to the optical domain using an or a directly modulated laser. An electro-optic modulator can vary the intensity and/or the phase of the optical carrier. In silicon photonics, a common technique to achieve modulation is to vary the density of free charge carriers. Variations of electron and hole densities change the real and the imaginary part of the refractive index of silicon as described by the empirical equations of Soref and B.
