Modulation efficiency of a LiNbO3 waveguide electro-optic intensity modulator operating at high microwave frequency.
The modulation efficiency, at high-frequency microwave modulation, of a LiNbO(3) waveguide electro-optic modulator is shown to be degraded severely, especially when it is used as a frequency translator in a Brillouin-distributed fiber-sensing system. We derive an analytical expression for this attenuation regarding the phase-velocity mismatch and the impedance mismatch during the modulation pro...
متن کاملLock-in Modulation Detection for a Difference Interferometric Slab Optical- Waveguide Refractive-Index Sensor
based on the differential phase modulation between the two orthogonal polarization (TE and TM) modes of guided light beams of optical waveguide.1–4 We have developed such a type of RI sensor using a slab optical waveguide (SOWG) with a prism coupler.5 This type of RI sensor allows us to use a relatively simple optical configuration, compared with other RI sensors using a planer optical waveguid...
متن کاملSimultaneous bandgaps in LiNbO3 phoxonic crystal slab.
We study simultaneous photonic and phononic crystal slabs created in Z-cut lithium niobate membranes. Bandgaps for guided waves are identified using the three-dimensional finite element method (FEM). Three lattices are considered: the square, the hexagonal, and the honeycomb lattices. We investigate the evolution of band gaps as a function of geometrical parameters such as hole radius and membr...
متن کاملSlab Waveguide and Optical Fibers for Novel Plasmonic Sensor Configurations
The use of plasmonic sensor devices often requires replaceable parts and disposable chips for easy, fast and on-site detection analysis. In light of these requests, we propose a novel low-cost surface plasmon resonance sensor platform for possible selective detection of analytes in aqueous solutions. It is based on a Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) slab waveguide with a thin gold film on the top...
متن کاملMechano-optical waveguide on-off intensity modulator.
High-extinction on-off modulators are essential for channel selection in integrated-optical sensor arrays. We report a standard SiON-technology-based electrostatically driven integrated mechano-optical waveguide on-off intensity modulator. On-off modulation is achieved by movement of an absorbing element into and out of the evanescent field of the guided mode. An extinction ratio of >37 dB at a...
