Abstract :
A quasi-velocity-matched guided-wave optical phase modulator using periodically domain inverted LiTaO3 is fabricated and demonstrated for the first time to the best of the authors´ knowledge. Band modulation characteristics and the generation of optical side-bands of ~100 GHz are confirmed successfully. This modulator can be used to construct an integrated ultrashort optical pulse generator
