Asymmetric hybrid photonic devices |
摘要 |
Optical devices having a first semiconductor slab including a first lateral boundary for an optical mode and a second semiconductor slab above and asymmetrically overlapping the first lateral boundary included in the first semiconductor slab and including an edge of a second lateral boundary for the optical mode. The second lateral boundary is disposed above and to a side of the first lateral boundary. The first semiconductor slab is of a silicon material while the second semiconductor slab is of a III-V material. A first and a second electrical contact are coupled to the second semiconductor slab, one on each lateral side of the second lateral boundary. The optical device further includes an optical waveguide region formed by the first and second lateral optical mode boundaries, wherein a complex refractive index of the optical waveguide region changes based on an electrical difference applied between the first and second electrical contacts.
