  • Abstract
    The sensitivity of a Ti:LiNbO3 waveguide Mach-Zehnder modulator is improved by a new electrode configuration. With 22 mm-long electrodes, a drive voltage as low as 0.35 V is sufficient for complete modulation. This modulator should prove useful in fibre-optics sensing applications.
