Abstract
Graphene-Si heterojunction devices have been widely studied in the field of photoelectric detection, solar cells and sensors areas. However, optical modulation devices based on graphene-Si heterojunction have been rarely reported. Herein, we analyze the photoelectric performance of the graphene-Si heterojunction at different laser powers. The Fermi level of the graphene can be tuned as the photo-excited holes in Si diffuse into the graphene. For the hybrid Si-graphene waveguide modulator, the maximum modulation efficiency of 279.3 dB/cm is achieved at 1550 nm by using finite element analysis method. We hope that the study of the graphene-Si heterojunction can provide a way for application in hybrid graphene-Si waveguide modulators.
