Tuner-Free Lumped-Element Resonantly Enhanced Mach-Zehnder Modulator With Ultra-Wide Operating Wavelength Range (W2A.6)
Presenter: Manuel Ackermann, Institute of Integrated Photonics RWTH
We demonstrate a resonantly enhanced Mach-Zehnder modulator utilizing highly overcoupled ring resonators with staggered resonances to achieve a 7-nm 1-dB-penalty operating range. It can be operated lumped element without tuning any of the resonators.
