Replica-molded electro-optic polymer Mach–Zehnder modulator
A Mach–Zehnder electro-optic polymer amplitude modulator is fabricated by a simple and high-throughput soft-stamp replica-molding technique. The modulator structure incorporates the highly nonlinear and stable chromophore, AJL8, doped in amorphous polycarbonate. Single-arm phase-retardation results in a halfwave voltage sVpd of 8.4 V at 1600 nm. The on/off extinction ratio is better than 19 dB,...
متن کاملMulti-octave linearized analog photonic link based on a polarization-multiplexing dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator.
A multi-octave highly-linear analog photonic link with simultaneous suppression of second-order intermodulation distortion (IMD2) and third-order intermodulation distortion (IMD3) is proposed and demonstrated based on a single integrated polarization-multiplexing dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (PM-DPMZM). The IMD2 is eliminated by biasing one sub-MZM in each sub-DPMZM at a point close to ...
متن کاملStabilized fiber-optic Mach-Zehnder interferometer for carrier-frequency rejection.
We have demonstrated stabilization of a fiber-optic Mach-Zehnder interferometer, with a centimeter-scale path difference, to the transmission minimum for the carrier wave of a frequency-modulated laser beam. A time-averaged extinction of 32 dB, limited by the bandwidth of the feedback, was maintained over several hours. The interferometer was used to remove the carrier wave from a 780 nm laser ...
متن کاملAdiabatic thermo-optic Mach-Zehnder switch.
In this Letter, we propose and demonstrate a high-speed and power-efficient thermo-optic switch using an adiabatic bend with a directly integrated silicon heater to minimize the heat capacity and therein maximize the performance of the thermo-optic switch. A rapid, τ=2.4 μs thermal time constant and a low electrical power consumption of P(π)=12.7 mW/π-phase shift were demonstrated representing ...
