Abstract :
The activation energy (Ea) for DC drifts of x-cut LiNbO 3 (LN) modulators was obtained to be 1.4±0.2 eV based on statistical consideration of long-term biased aging test data at 100 and 120°C. Ea=1.4 eV means that 20 years of device life at 65°C- common system requirements can be promptly tested by 9 days aging at 120°C
