Energy harvesting optical modulators with sub-attojoule per bit electrical energy consumption

Optical modulators are a critical component for many future applications. Here the authors present a photovoltaic modulator that uses photogenerated charges and a nanoscale switch to enable low power (attojoule level), GHz-speed modulation in a CMOS-compatible platform.
