    Area of Science:

    • Photonics and Optical Engineering
    • Materials Science
    • Nanotechnology

    Background:

    • Optical communication systems require electro-optic modulators with high extinction ratios, small footprints, and practical detection capabilities.
    • Existing modulators face challenges in meeting these combined demands for miniaturization and performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate a compact plasmon modulator with a high extinction ratio.
    • To integrate indium tin oxide (ITO) into a Mach-Zehnder (M-Z) interferometer for modulation.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of a compact modulation region using indium tin oxide (ITO).
    • Integration of the ITO modulation region into the arms of a Mach-Zehnder (M-Z) interferometer.
    • Numerical simulations to evaluate modulator performance based on electron concentration changes in ITO.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a compact modulator footprint of 20µm × 12µm.
    • The modulation region measured 4µm × 0.5µm.
    • A high extinction ratio of 15.2 dB was numerically demonstrated with an ITO electron concentration change of 4×10^20 cm^-3.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed ITO-based plasmon modulator offers a high extinction ratio in a significantly reduced footprint.
    • This technology facilitates future compact optoelectronic integration.
    • Potential applications include optical communication, photodetection, and sensing.
