Abstract :
Summary from only given. A prototype symmetric waveguide EO modulator was proposed. We show the cross section of the waveguide structure of the EO modulator based on GaAs substrate. A 0.5 /spl mu/m gold layer (the lower electrode) was deposited on the GaAs substrate. The SAS layers were intrinsically accentric, and second harmonic generation (SHG) and EO effects have been demonstrated without external electric field poling process.
