Abstract

Structures for an electro-optic modulator and methods of fabricating a structure for an electro-optic modulator. An electro-optic modulator is positioned proximate to a section of a waveguide core. The electro-optic modulator includes an active layer and a confinement layer. The active layer is composed of a first material, the confinement layer is composed of a second material with a different composition than the first material, the first material has a refractive index that is variable under an applied bias voltage, and the second material has a permittivity with an imaginary part that ranges from 0 to about 15.
