Compact and Energy-Efficient Forward-Biased PN Silicon Mach-Zehnder Modulator

A compact device model along with simulations and an experimental analysis of a forward-biased PN junction-based silicon Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) with a phase-shifter length of 0.5 mm is presented. By placing the PN junction to a certain off-center such that 72% of the waveguide is p-...
