Three-Port Optical Phase-Shifters and Modulators With Ultra-High Modulation Efficiency, Positive RF-Linking Gain, and Low Residual Amplitude Modulation

A three-port optical phase-shifter and Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) based on PNP-type bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is demonstrated. Significant plasma (injected carrier) induced changes of the refractive index for the optical waveguide become possible with an extremely small driving-voltage and...
