摘要：
An approach for design optimization of the geometrical parameters of silicon-on-insulator slot-waveguides for electro-optical modulators and biosensors is presented. Theoretical investigations of field confinement factors and effective nonlinear areas for different slot-waveguide structures are critically analyzed and thoroughly calculated. With our simulation results we explain the high efficiency of electro-optical modulators and the enhanced sensitivity of biosensors compared to strip-waveguides. The influence on the effective refractive index, field confinement factor, and effective nonlinear area of the slot width and the silicon rail width were investigated.
