Title
Design Trade-Offs Of High-Speed Energy-Efficient Modulators For Short-Range Optical Interconnects
Abstract
Data centre and high-performance computers need quick distribution of tasks and information amongst a large number of nodes. Therefore, reconfigurable energy-efficient optical interconnects for the rack to rack, board to board, chip to chip and intra-chip communication is required. The electro-optical modulator is the key component for this purpose which needs to be optimized at the component level. Performance analysis of the modulators is necessary to enable system designers to choose proper designs which satisfy system level parameters such as loss, bandwidth, and energy efficiency, while considering link budget limitations. In this paper, the performance trade-offs of Mach Zehnder modulators - with corrugated waveguide or ring enhanced structures- are investigated in terms of physical parameters, like drive voltage and length.
