Adiabatic resonant microring (ARM) modulator

A high-speed adiabatic resonant microring silicon modulator, which simultaneously enables interior electrical contacts, 4-μm diameter, and 6.9-THz free spectral range, is demonstrated with open eye diagrams up to 12Gb/s, and extinction ratios up to 7.3dB.
