Abstract

We demonstrate the ultrahigh extinction operation of a silicon photonic (SiP) amplitude modulator (AM) employing a cascaded Mach-Zehnder interferometer. By carrying out optimization sweeps without significantly degrading the extinction, the SiP AM is robust to environment changes and maintained >52 dB extinction for >6 hrs.
