NM04 – Semi-Analytic Modelling of Slot Waveguides in Silicon-Organic Hybrid Mach-Zehnder Modulators
A semi-analytic approach for modelling the distributed capacitance and the elecro-optic confinement factor of the slot waveguide in a silicon-organic hybrid Mach-Zehnder modulator using the principle of conformal mapping is presented. The results show a deviation of less than 1.3% compared with numerical field simulations.
