Abstract :
Computer modelling of microwave-optical interaction in Fabry-Perot microresonator operating as an electro-optical modulator of microwave-photonic receiver is performed. Fabry-Perot microresonator is formed by a thin z-cut LiNbO3 plate and multilayer SiO2/Si mirrors upon its two edges. Microwave field is applied to the metallic electrodes located on the top and the bottom facets of the LiNbO3 plate. Conditions of resonant microwave-optical interaction in Fabry-Perot microresonator at different patterns of metallic electrodes are obtained and discussed.
