Abstract
We investigate the potential of IT’-MoTe2 as a saturable absorber for silicon photonics devices. By optimizing the coupling coefficient between the 2D material and the wave-guide, we achieve a maximum coupling of 18%. Utilizing carrier statistics calculations, we estimate the saturation intensity per effective interaction length as 7.5MW/cm2·nm at 1560nm. Our simulation suggests that the saturation intensity in an optimized waveguide reaches approximately 13MW/cm2.
