Compact Electro-Optic Modulators on a Silicon Chip

Electro-optic modulators are one of the most critical components in optoelectronic integration, and decreasing their size may enable novel chip architectures not previously possible. Here, we discuss high-confinement resonators as modulators for achieving high performance in micrometer-size structures
