- Abstract
A broadband polarization-insensitive graphene modulator has been proposed. The dual built-in orthogonal slots waveguide allows polarization independence for the transverse electric (TE) mode and the transverse magnetic (TM) mode. Due to the introduction of metal slots in both the vertical and horizontal directions, the optical field as well as the electro-absorption of graphene are enhanced by the plasmonic effect. The proposed electro-optic modulator shows a modulation depth of 0.474 and 0.462 dB/μm for two supported modes, respectively. An ultra-low effective index difference of 0.001 can be achieved within the wavelength range from 1100 to 1900 nm. The 3 dB-bandwidth is estimated to be 101 GHz. The power consumption is 271 fJ/bit at a modulation length of 20 μm. The proposed modulator provides high speed broadband solutions in microwave photonic systems.
