Velocity-matched slow-wave electrodes for integrated electro-optic modulators. Jaeger, Nicolas A. F.; Lee, Zachary K.
Abstract
Coplanar slow-wave electrode structures capable of matching the velocities of microwaves to those of optical waves in compound semiconductor based electro-optic modulators are described. In such an electrode microwaves are slowed by periodically adding pairs of capacitive loading fins to the electrode to increase its capacitance per unit length, without obtaining a corresponding decrease in its inductance per unit length. Electro-optic modulators having wide bandwidths and requiring small amounts of modulating power may be realized by using slow-wave electrodes to achieve the velocity-match condition. The theory of operation of, and the results of some measurements on, electrodes of this type are presented. Copyright 1993 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
