Abstract
Analog performance of compact thin-film lithium niobate Mach-Zehnder modulators on silicon substrates is investigated. The 8-mm-long modulators present 3.1 V.cm half-wave voltage length product, 18 dB extinction ratio, and are characterized up to 20 GHz, with 95 dBHz2/3 spur-free dynamic range up to 4 GHz.
