An 80 Gb/s Silicon Photonic Modulator Based on the Principle of Overlapped Resonances

We report a silicon photonic modulator based on a Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) loaded with a microring modulator (MRM) on one arm and a microring resonator (MRR) on the other arm. The device is operated with the resonances of the MRM and the MRR overlapped to improve the extinction r...
