The modulator offers a compact, simplified design and enhanced robustness to on-chip fluctuations of temperature compared to conventional Mach-Zehnder based systems. A prototype modulator showing a voltage dependent transmission spectrum is obtained by cladding a dual-mode waveguide in a 250 nm silicon-on-insulator technology with a customized organic electro-optic layer. Estimated phase shifts and corresponding figures of merit are discussed in this contribution. The used organic layer is based on the guest-host approach with customized donor-acceptor chromophore embedded and poled in a poly(methylmethacrylate) matrix. The presented prototype is to the best of the authors'' knowledge the first integrated single waveguide silicon-organic hybrid modulator.2017http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/6321210.5194/ars-15-141-2017http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/63212oai:zaguan.unizar.es:63212info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E39info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/CTQ2014-52331-Rinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/CTQ2015-66897Advances in Radio Science 15 (2017), 141-147byhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
