A contrast ratio greater than 3 dB was achieved for only 0.8-V drive across a 16-mn wavelength range from 1498 to 1514 nm. The misalignment tolerance between this device, and the input optical beam was measured to be 30 μ m.Fabry-Perot resonatorsoptical interconnectionsoptical modulationwaveguidestext::journal::journal article::research article
