In this paper, with the help of numerical simulations, we show how it is possible to create a Distributed Bragg Reflector by electrically inducing periodical refractive index variations in unperturbed III-V rib-waveguides to design different kind of devices. This approach allows to induce the optoelectronic devices by a suitable reconfiguration of the potential applied to the electrode matrix, i.e. to have a defined routing/switching matrix, or, for dynamic applications, realize intensity modulators, capable of reaching a theoretical 40 GHz switching speed.
Key words: Bragg grating / optoelectronic modulator / electro-optic effects
