Electrical Control of Silicon Photonic Crystal Cavity by Graphene
arXiv:1210.6716 · doi:10.1021/nl3039212
Abstract
Efficient conversion of electrical signal to optical signal in nano-photonics enables solid state integration of electronics and photonics. Combination of graphene with photonic crystals is promising for electro-optic modulation. In this paper, we demonstrate that by electrostatic gating a single layer of graphene on top of a photonic crystal cavity, the cavity resonance can be changed significantly. A ~2nm change in the cavity resonance linewidth and almost 400% (6 dB) change in resonance reflectivity is observed. In addition, our analysis shows that a graphene-photonic crystal device can potentially be useful for a high speed, and low power absorptive and refractive modulator, while maintaining a small physical footprint.
