By using optical heterodyne technique, we demonstrated the stable emission of sub-terahertz wave with the frequency ranging from 88 GHz to 101 GHz, which can operate as microwave source for nonlinear response measurement system. Mutual frequency beating of two well-separated sideband signals at a 0.1 THz photo-detector (PD) allows for the generation of sub-terahertz signal. Based on this approach, we have achieved the radiation of 0.1 THz wave with power up to 4 mW. By transmittance measurement, two-dimensional nanomaterial topological insulator (TI: Bi2Te3) shows saturable absorption behaviors with normalized modulation depth of 47% at 0.1 THz. Our results show that optical heterodyne technique could be developed as an effective microwave source generation for nonlinear measurement at sub-terahertz, even terahertz band.

ABSTRACTSilicon is the most diffused material for microelectronic industry and, in recent times, it is becoming more and more widespread in integrated optic and optoelectronic fields. We present the thermo-electro-optical analysis of an integrated waveguide-vanishing-based optical modulator based on free-carrier dispersion effect, realizable on standard SOI wafer. The optical behavior is based on the vanishing of the lateral confinement in the rib region, and consequent cut-off of the propagating mode. Results show that an optical modulation depth close to 100% can be reached with a bandwidth of about 154 MHz. Smart electrical driving, that is an injection overdrive of a few volts for a very short time, allows to reach total ON-OFF switching time of about 860 ps. For that bias scheme the fall transient is then limiting the whole dynamic and the resulting bit rate in a pure digital modulation scheme is about 1.2 Gb/s

We theoretically proposed a fiber modulator based on PCFs with a graphene/hBN/graphene film attached to its hole walls, which shows high modulation depth and speed with a broad wavelength range.

A terahertz modulation structure based on hybrid metamaterial and graphene is proposed and demonstrated in this work. The metamaterial with a square slit ring array excites terahertz resonance in the slits and enhances the interaction between the terahertz wave and graphene. The graphene layer acting as the active material is tuned by the applied electrical field. With the separation by a dielectric layer between the graphene and the metallic structure, the resonant frequency and transmitted energy are both modulated by the graphene. Experimental result indicates that the modulation depth of the terahertz transmitted amplitude is 65.1% when the applied modulation voltage is tuned 5 V.
