The temporal response of periodic and nonperiodic phase-reversal integrated-optic travelling-wave modulators is derived for the lossless and lossy cases. Improved repetition rates are obtained by using nonperiodic structures. For all structures considered the highest usable repetition rate is much greater in the intensity modulation regime (using a Mach-Zehnder) than in the phase modulation regime.
