摘要: An optical modulation mechanism based on dynamically shifting the photonic potential barrier of a crystal waveguide is presented. The modeled by one-dimensional quantum tunneling effect using Schrodinger equation. calculation results show that efficiency 200 times higher than conventional Mach-Zehnder modulator. Based this innovative concept, an engineering design ultracompact silicon modulator with 10 microm x 5 footprint
