4. Conclusion and outlook

The studies we have carried out are groundbreaking in the field of silicon optical modulation. Just ten years ago, the development of a high-performance, low-loss optical modulator with high electrical bandwidth (in excess of 10 GHz) represented a real challenge. We carried out the first experimental demonstrations of refractive index variation in silicon, exploiting carrier depletion
