Two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguides in silicon enable integrated optical devices with an extremely small geometric footprint on the scale of micrometers. The slotted waveguide design optimizes the overlap of the optical and electric fields in the second-order nonlinear optical medium and, hence, the interaction of the optical and electric waves.en0146-959220101627532755OSA Publishinghttp://doku.b.tu-harburg.de/doku/lic_mit_pod.phpphotonic crystalsilicon-on-insulatorpockels effect, electrooptic effectnonlinear optical polymerJournal Article2010-08-16urn:nbn:de:101:1-20150526178110.15480/882.831Pockels-EffektElektrooptischer EffektLichtwellenleiterPhotonischer KristallNLO-PolymereSOI-TechnikElectrooptical effectsNonlinear optical crystals (see also 77.84.-s Dielectric, piezoelectric, and ferroelectric materials)Photonic bandgap materials (for photonic crystal lasers, see 42.55.Tv)Optical processors, correlators, and modulatorsWaveguides, couplers, and arrays (for fiber waveguides, see 42.81.Qb)11420/83310.1364/OL.35.00275310.15480/882.831930768637Journal Article
