Electrooptical effects in silicon
Abstract
A numerical Kramers-Kronig analysis is used to predict the refractive-index perturbations produced in crystalline silicon by applied electric fields or by charge carriers. Results are obtained over the1.0-2.0 \mum optical wavelength range. The analysis makes use of experimental electroabsorption spectra and impurity-doping spectra taken from the literature. For electrorefraction at the indirect gap, we find\Delta n = 1.3 \times 10^{5}at\lambda = 1.07 \mum whenE = 10^{5}V/cm, while the Kerr effect gives\Delta n = 10^{-6}at that field strength. The charge-carrier effects are larger, and a depletion or injection of 1018carriers/cm3produces an index change of\pm1.5 \times 10^{-3}at\lambda = 1.3 \mum.

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.
