Abstract :
This paper concerns the application of lightwave technology to microwave systems, specifically the design of a novel optical modulator. This new modulator uses a Fabry-Perot interferometer with internal Bragg reflector mirrors. The device is expected to be small, less the 500¿m in length, have a bandwidth in excess of 10GHz, and a driving voltage below 5 Volts.
