“…Several studies previously proposed a similar platform to the one proposed in this work [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. The proposed platform is based on an ultra-thin SOI that supports the fundamental mode, as would be seen in a conventional SOI (t=220 nm, W=400nm).…”

. We propose a detailed study of an on-chip optical modulator using a nonconventional silicon-based platform. This platform is based on the optimum design of ultra-thin silicon on insulator (SOI) waveguide. This platform is characterized by low field confinement inside the core waveguide and high sensitivity to the cladding index. Accordingly, it lends itself to a wide range of applications, such as sensing and optical modulation. By employing this waveguide into the Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) configuration, an efficient optical modulator is reported using an organic polymer as an active material for the electro-optic effect. An extinction ratio of more than 20 dB is achieved with energy per bit of 13.21 fJ/bit for 0.5 V applied voltage. This studied platform shows promising and adequate performance for modulation applications. It is cheap and easy to fabricate.
