Abstract

A broad-band traveling-wave electrooptic modulator of Ti-diffused LiNbO 3 optical waveguide was designed, constructed, and tested at 0.63 μm over a bandwidth of 10.5 GHz. Using a novel asymmetric electrode configuration as a microwave waveguide, practically smooth frequency response of the modulator was obtained. For 300 mW drive power, the phase modulation index was 1 rad at 2 GHz and 0.53 rad at 10 GHz, while the intensity modulation index was 64 and 34 percent, respectively.
