Ultrahigh extinction on-chip amplitude modulators with broadband operation

Liu, Sheng L.; Cai, Hong; DeRose, Christopher T.; Davids, Paul D.; Pomerene, Andrew P.; Starbuck, Andrew L.; Trotter, Douglas C.; Urayama, Junji U.; Camacho, Ryan C.; Lentine, Anthony L.

We experimentally demonstrate amplitude modulators (AMs) with >65 dB extinction across over a 160 nm spectral range. The output optical phase response is also characterized when the amplitude is modulated.
