Abstract
Wavelength-insensitive biasing (WIB) of an optical intensity modulator was demonstrated using the photobleaching technique to control the initial phase difference of the electrooptic polymer modulator. The WIB technique reduced the wavelength sensitivity of the bias point at 1550 nm by a factor of 17.
