Abstract

We report on high-extinction-ratio, ultrafast plasmonic Mach–Zehnder modulators. We demonstrate data modulation at line rates up to 72 Gbit/s (BPSK) and 108 Gbit/s (4-ASK). The driving voltages are $U_{\rm d} = 4$ and 2.5 Vp for 12.5 and 25 μm short devices, respectively. The frequency response shows no bandwidth limitations up to 70 GHz. Static characterizations indicate extinction ratios > 25 dB.
