Abstract

We present design concepts for fast, VLSI-compatible optical modulators based on an SOl materials system. Difficulties associated with corrugated Bragg switches can, in principle, be overcome by the use of optically-resonant periodic electrode (ORPEL) structures. We present a design for a fast, VLSI-compatible optoelectronic switch based on MSM technology.
