Improving the Linearity of Silicon Ring Modulators by Manipulating the Photon Dynamics

We demonstrate that the linearity of silicon ring modulators can be improved significantly by manipulating the dynamics of photons in the cavity. A theoretically model is established to analyze the dependence of the modulation linearity on lifetime and wavelength of photons. By reducing <italic&g...
