  • Abstract
    A 5 V half-wave voltage (Vpi ) electro-optic Ti:LiNbO3 intensity modulator with a -7.5 dB (electrical) optical response at 40 GHz is demonstrated at 1.3 mu m. A thick electrode structure is used in conjunction with a thin substrate to achieve a near optical-microwave phase match and a broadband electrical response.
