Abstract :
A single mode rib waveguide (RWG) polarization modulator is described with a measured extinction ratio ≳27 dB, a power conversion ≈0.99, and a switching voltage of 12.5 V at 
m. The modulator is based on a modified step 
-reversal configuration. Contact with CdO and an Au overlay ensures low optical losses ( 
cm-1) for both polarizations.
