Abstract :
A sensitivity analysis on the performance of resonantly enhanced modulators on X-cut LiNbO3 using a thick coplanar-waveguide electrode structure due to the fabrication tolerances is presented. The distributions of the various parameters to the performance fluctuation are analyzed. It is shown that a large-gap electrode makes the modulators less sensitive to the variations of electrode dimensions.
