SOIPAM

Optical modulator for data processing

SOIPAM (Silicon-On-Insulator Photo-Activated Modulator) is an electro-optical modulator for use in data processing. The data flow in SOIPAM is electronic, while the modulation is optic. Since the external voltage applied to the device is constant and no RC related delay is generated, faster operation rates are anticipated. This novel device serves as a building block for silicon-based optical processors that can be manufactured using typical microelectronics fabrication processes.
