Lithium Niobate Intensity Modulator
The Mach-Zehnder intensity modulator changes output intensity by modulating optical phase and interference. Annealed proton exchange forms low-loss, single-polarization waveguides on lithium niobate for excellent polarization stability. Low-speed versions use high-impedance lumped electrodes for low modulation rates. High-speed versions use 50Ω coplanar traveling-wave electrodes for high modulation rates.
