摘要
We demonstrate a phase shifter using a silicon slot waveguide infiltrated with liquid crystal. For a 1-mm long device we achieve 73 pi phase shift with a 5 V voltage, with a voltage-length product of 0.0224 V center dot mm similar to 1 V. We drive the phase shifter with a digital 1 V, duobinary pulsewidth-modulated signal, or a 1 V frequency-modulated signal. This enables direct digital CMOS control of an analog optical phase shifter.
