In particular the so-called \"herringbone\" configuration, in which two modulators share a common spine, is a particularly compact and self-aligned structure. We report the first data characterizing such a structure and show how, on the basis of this data, the electrode design can be improved to reduce crosstalk and to improve dynamic range. We then indicate how the improved herringbone electrode can be used in a matrix-vector multiplier employing the engagement architecture(2).","PeriodicalId":208165,"journal":{"name":"Seventh Topical Meeting on Integrated and Guided-Wave Optics","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121348399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, application of Fabry-Perot-resonators for this purpose has two drawbacks: first strong wavelength dependent reflections occur and second it is not an integrated optic solution. The first drawback can be handled by using ringresonators. A fibre optic solution was recently described by Bachus et al. /2/. An integrated optical ringresonator was also realized recently using silver ion exchange in glass /3/. The disadvantage of both devices is that alignment and tuning are almost impossible.

Acoustooptic frequency shifters, which are now commonly used, are not compatible with optical fiber systems since they are broad-beam devices and require angular tuning to utilize their full electrical bandwidth. Here we present experimental results on a channel-waveguide frequency shifter being developed independently by us and others1 which utilizes TE/TM mode conversion produced by a traveling refractive-index-wave perturbation. In our approach, an interdigitated electrode structure is driven with a three-phase electrical signal to generate the index perturbation so that phase matching and therefore high conversion efficiency can be obtained from arbitrarily low frequencies to several gigahertz. The use of a three-phase-drive interdigitated electrode array is similar in concept to the wide-band slab-waveguide Bragg-diffraction frequency translator reported earlier.2 In the initial device reported here, which was fabricated in Ti:LiNbO3 for operation at λ = 1.15 μm, we obtained 10% conversion efficiency at 90 MHz. Much higher conversion efficiencies should be obtainable with improved designs. Here we report on the principles of operation of these devices, their fabrication, and the experimental results.","PeriodicalId":208165,"journal":{"name":"Seventh Topical Meeting on Integrated and Guided-Wave Optics","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124905673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several papers have been previously published which report the design and performance of Ti-indiffused lumped-element guided-wave electrooptic modulators.1 However, none of these provides sufficient insight for designing a practical modulator for a particular frequency response nor fully evaluates proposed circuit models by investigating a number of modulators with significantly different capacitances, resistances and inductances. Here, these issues are addressed and a simple RLC equivalent circuit is shown to accurately predict measured device performance. A lumped-element modulator with a Vπ = 4 V and a small-signal linear 3-dB bandwidth of 2.75 GHz has been demonstrated. In addition, traveling-wave modulators were fabricated and characterized. A small-signal linear 3-dB bandwidth of 13.2 GHz and a 7.6-μW/MHz figure of merit were measured representing one of the widest bandwidth and most efficient modulators reported. A traveling-wave modulator transmission line analysis predicts a >17-GHz small-signal linear bandwidth for this same device when a different terminating impedance is used.","PeriodicalId":208165,"journal":{"name":"Seventh Topical Meeting on Integrated and Guided-Wave Optics","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129525527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
