Integration of periodic, sub‐wavelength structures in silicon‐on‐insulator photonic device design
Rapid advances in high‐resolution chip lithography have accelerated nanophotonic device development on the silicon‐on‐insulator (SOI) platform. The ability to create sub‐wavelength features in silicon has attracted research in photonic band and dispersion engineering and consequently made available a wide array of device functionalities.

A 4:1 multiplexer (MUX) circuit in SiGe BiCMOS technology intended to directly drive a plasmonic Mach–Zehnder modulator for transmitter applications is presented. To achieve the highest data rates at a high output voltage swing, a power MUX concept is applied that maps the high‐speed performance of the final clock signal onto the output data.
