  • Abstract
    In the letter we demonstrate experimentally the operation of a polarisation-independent amplitude modulator based on the evolution of the electro-optical modulation efficiency against the position of the mode with respect to the electrode system. For a 20 mm-long Mach-Zehnder interferometer command voltages of 5 V have been obtained at the polarisation-insensitive configuration.
