Experimental study demonstrates high-speed millimeter-wave modulation in titanium-diffused lithium niobate devices, indicating viable ultra-broadband optical communication up to 100 GHz.

Key Points

To design, fabricate, and evaluate ridged titanium-diffused lithium niobate optical intensity modulators operating in the millimeter-wave band at a 1.5 μm wavelength.
Engineered a velocity-matched design utilizing wider gaps, a thicker coplanar waveguide electrode, and a ridge waveguide structure to achieve impedance matching and minimize conductor loss.
Fabricated and evaluated two configurations of Mach-Zehnder optical intensity modulators for the 1.5 μm wavelength regime.
Produced a fully packaged optical modulator module operating at 40 Gb/s transmission with a half-wave voltage of 3.5 V.
Demonstrated an ultra-broadband modulator exhibiting optical response up to 100 GHz with a half-wave voltage of 5.1 V.
