Investigation of Electric Field Induced Mixing in Silicon Micro Ring Resonators

Abstract In this paper we present a detailed theoretical investigation of the electric field induced mixing effect, in which the up and down frequency-conversion processes are obtained by inducing an effective second order susceptibility via the periodic spatial distribution of reversed biased p-i-n...
