    摘要: An optical modulator that uses adiabatic tapers to change the width of the waveguides between multimode waveguides and single mode waveguides on a low-loss, e.g. thin-film lithium niobate, electro-optic platform. The architecture enables the utilization of the fundamental mode of multimode wide optical waveguides that have lower optical propagation loss without sacrificing the benefit of the signal integrity and ease of control of single mode operation.

    摘要: An interface for an optical modulator and the optical modulator are described. The interface includes first and second differential line pairs. The first differential line pair has a first negative line and a first positive line arranged on opposing sides of a first waveguide. The first negative line is on a distal side of the first waveguide relative to a second waveguide. The first positive line is on a proximal side of the first waveguide relative to the second waveguide. The second differential line pair has a second negative line and a second positive line arranged on opposing sides of the second waveguide. The second negative line is on a distal side of the second waveguide relative to the first waveguide. The second positive line is on a proximal side of the second waveguide relative to the first waveguide. The first and second waveguides each include lithium niobate and/or lithium tantalate.

    摘要: An integrated electro-optic frequency comb generator based on ultralow loss integrated, e.g. thin-film lithium niobate, platform, which enables low power consumption comb generation spanning over a wider range of optical frequencies. The comb generator includes an intensity modulator, and at least one phase modulator, which provides a powerful technique to generate a broad high power comb, without using an optical resonator. A compact integrated electro-optic modulator based frequency comb generator, provides the benefits of integrated, e.g. lithium niobate, platform including low waveguide loss, high electro-optic modulation efficiency, small bending radius and flexible microwave design.
