Abstract
In the paper, the high performance silicon ring-resonator based intensity modulator is proposed which exhibits modulation
based on the extent of the covering of the ring waveguide with graphene, and by electrical tuning of the chemical potential
of the graphene. The deviation in the refractive index profile inside the graphene is responsible for modulation. The Q-factor
of 900 throughout the entire C and L band gap is obtained. The high sensitivity and FSR of 0.83 ππ/πππ and 25 nm with
switching rate of 10 dB/V is observed. The modulation efficiency of 100% is obtained at an angle of 4.5 rad.
