Abstract
We report a hybrid silicon optical gate based on a silicon waveguide with a III–V gain medium and two vertical grating couplers. The gate shows a wide optical bandwidth, high extinction ratio with low internal noise factor and low insertion loss. We further study the gate performance under packet-switched operation.
