The device consists of a 200 μm-long SiO_2-clad photonic crystal waveguide, with an embedded p-n junction, incorporated into an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The device is integrated on a SOI chip and fabricated by CMOS-compatible processes. With the bias voltage set at 0 V, we measure a V_πL=0.028 V・cm. Optical modulation is demonstrated by electrically driving the device with a 2^31-1 bit non-return-to-zero pseudo-random bit sequence signal. An open eye pattern is observed at bitrates of 10 Gb/s and 2 Gb/s, with and without pre-emphasis of the drive signal, respectively.}, pages = {13000--13007}, title = {10 Gb/s operation of photonic crystal silicon optical modulators}, volume = {19}, year = {2011} }
