  • Abstract
    The progress in the development of velocity matched broadband LiNbO/sub 3/ modulators has opened new opportunities for the demonstration of low drive voltage devices at specific frequencies. This paper reviews the current status of device development and illustrates the design of low drive voltage devices.
