We demonstrate a sub-nanosecond electro-optical switch with low crosstalk in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI)
dual-coupled micro-ring embedded with p-i-n diodes. A crosstalk of –23 dB is obtained in the 20-µm-radius
micro-ring with the well-designing asymmetric dual-coupling structure. By optimizations of the doping
profiles and the fabrication processes, the sub-nanosecond switch-on/off time of < 400 ps is finally realized
under an electrical pre-emphasized driving signal. This compact and fast-response micro-ring switch, which
can be fabricated by complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) compatible technologies, have
enormous p otential in optical interconnects of multicore networks-on-chip.

The rapid development of silicon photonics, including
modulators, switches, and Ge-on-Si photodetectors, has
indicated the feasibility of on-chip optical intercon-
nects in multicore computing systems. Significant in-
crements of computation performance can be exp ected if
high-data-rate optical signals can be switched with low
power. A silicon-based micro-resonator has been consid-
ered as the key component for the optical networks-on-
chip for its compactness, wavelength selectivity, and low
power consumption
[1−4]
. Some studies on silicon micro-
resonator-based optical switches have been reported,
aiming at on-chip multiplexing/demultiplexing and rout-
ing of wavelength division multiplexing signals with low
power and large bandwidth
[5−9]
. However, most of the
reported crosstalks and switch times are not sufficient
for future fast on-chip optical switching with transmis-
sion bit rates exceeding 10 Gb/s. A compact and low
crosstalk silicon-based electro-optical switch operating in
the sub-nanosecond regime remains to be demonstrated
for on-chip optical interconnects.
In this letter, we demonstrate a 1×2 silicon-on-
insulator (SOI) based micro-ring switch with low
crosstalk and sub-nanosecond switch time. The switch
crosstalk of –23 dB is obtained with the optimized asym-
metric dual-coupling micro-ring. Through the lateral
p-i-n diodes integrated to the ring waveguide, carrier-
induced plasma dispersion effect
[10]
is utilized to fast-
switch the resonance of the micro-ring. An electrical
pre-emphasized driving signal is generated and employed
for switch speed acceleration. A sub-nanosecond switch-
on/off time of 300/380 ps is realized.
The switch consists of a 20-µm-radius dual-coupling
micro-ring surrounded by p+ and n+ doped regions.
Figure 1(a) is the top-view microscope image of the fabri-
cated switch with Al electrodes. The gray lines highlight
the 20-µm-radius micro-ring and the coupling waveg-
uides. Under forward bias, the embedded p-i-n diodes
inject the carriers into the intrinsic waveguide. The vari-
ation of the carrier density changes the refractive index
and absorption coefficient because of the plasma disper-
sion effect in silicon
[10]
. In this way, the driving electrical
signal shifts the micro-ring resonance and controls the
on/off state of the optical signals produced from the
through- and drop-ports.
Figure 1(b) shows the cross-sectional schematic of the
micro-ring waveguide and the integrated lateral p-i-n
diodes. The waveguide was fabricated on a SOI wafer
with a 340-nm top silicon layer. All the waveguides have
∼100 nm slab thickness for the electrical integration and
are single mode rib waveguides designed for transverse
electric (TE) mode transmission. The operation speed
of a forward p-i-n diode is significantly dependent on
the carrier transport distance across the waveguide
