Abstract
A simulation model of SOI (Silicon on Insulator)-based optical waveguide variable optical attenuator (VOA) was demonstrated on the basis of the plasma dispersion effect of silicon. The mode characteristics of the SOI-based submicron waveguide and the dependence of the VOA’s performance on structural parameters, including the distance between two doped regions, doping depth and doping density, were simulated and analyzed systematically. According to the simulation results, an optimized VOA with small size and low power consumption was designed, which can achieve 30dB attenuation while the applied voltage is 2.1V and power consumption is only 14mW.
