Femtojoule electro-optic modulation using a silicon–organic hybrid device
Open accessAbstract
Scientists have demonstrated a hybrid silicon–organic electro-optic modulator that consumes just 0.7 fJ of energy per processed data bit. Such highly energy efficient optical modulators are needed for the short-reach, high-density data interconnects of the future. The 1-mm-long device is based on a Mach–Zehnder interferometer design and is compatible with data rates of up to 40 Gbit s−1. The modulator realizes a subfemtojoule efficiency by employing silicon slot waveguides filled with a highly nonlinear organic material called DLD164, which has a very large electro-optic coefficient of 180 pm V−1. The researchers, who are from Europe, the USA and China, claim that the modulator has the lowest power consumption demonstrated to date for a non-resonant Mach–Zehnder modulator realized in any material system.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
