Abstract

Abstract Optical communication relies on electro optic effect for switching and modulation processes for various purposes. In order to achieve this, Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) structure is utilized to achieve influential optical switching based on the function of electro-optic effect. This function is widely investigated in this paper and the same is implemented in a parity generator/checker for obtaining electro-optic effect by using MZI structure. Simulation is devised in a computer by applying a Titanium (Ti) in-diffused lithium niobate profile of MZI. Basic 2 × 2 switch is transformed as MZI for the design of parity device over a functional wavelength range of 1.3 µm to 1.65 µm. This simulated design is analyzed with different Ti LiNbO3 stripe thicknesses, in order to attain the optimum Ti-LiNbO3 stripe thickness and also to improve the performance of the switch on its cross talk, power imbalance, extinction ratio and transition losses. Opti BPM and Optisystem software is the tool used to design, implement and investigate the outputs obtained. The result set has proved to be efficient than all previous standards.
