Problems solved by technology

But this structure has a defect: the SI-InP layer is relatively thick, and a large part of the voltage needs to be divided, which reduces the modulation efficiency, making it difficult to further reduce the half-wave voltage, which is not conducive to the realization of low-power electro-optic modulation devices.
