Abstract

A Ti:LiNbO₃ Mach-Zehnder modulator with an asymmetric traveling-wave electrode has been studied for use as a high speed external modulator because of its low chirp and wide bandwidth.¹ The overly high drive voltage prohibits practical use, however. Our attempts to reduce the drive voltage by, for example, using two traveling-wave electrodes,² have met with problems, such as the interaction of microwaves.
