Abstract

The ever-increasing demand for high-speed data transmission in telecommunications and data centers has driven the development of advanced on-chip integrated electro-optic modulators. Silicon modulators, constrained by the relatively weak carrier dispersion effect, face challenges in meeting the stringent requirements of next-generation photonic integrated circuits. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in Pockels effect-based electro-optic modulators, leveraging ferroelectric materials like LiNbO3, BaTiO3, PZT, and LaTiO3. Attributed to the large first-order electro-optic coefficient, researchers have delved into developing modulators with expansive bandwidth, low power consumption, compact size, and linear response. This paper reviews the working principles, fabrication techniques, integration schemes, and recent highlights in Pockels effect-based modulators.
