TY - CONF A1 - Steglich, Patrick T1 - Towards monolithic integration of polymer-based electro-optical devices in silicon photonic integrated circuits using a 250 nm SOI technology N2 - Silicon-based photonic integrated circuits (PICs) in complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology are essential for next-generation communication systems and neuromorphic computing. However, silicon does not have efficient electro-optical (EO) effects. Since silicon limits the performance of current photonic devices, more advanced materials such as nonlinear optical polymers are needed to exploit the full potential of PICs. As a preliminary proof of concept, we demonstrate the quadratic EO effect and the electric field-induced EO effect using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer in conjunction with a co-integrated Ge photodiode. Our concept of monolithic integration could pave the way for next-generation PICs.
