Broadband Optical Phase Modulator Based on Electro-Optic Polymer

Abstract

We devised a broadband optical phase modulator using an electro-optic polymer material, which is lucrative for its potential for application as the material used in high-speed modulator. It has the possibility to achieve low half-wave voltage and large bandwidth simultaneously. The measured 3-dBo bandwidth of the fabricated modulator reached 50 GHz.
