Abstract :
A 40 Gb/s X-cut LiNbO3 modulator based on a two-step back-slot structure provides low drive voltage of 2.8 V. No DC drift phenomena are observed during more than 100 hours of operation at 100 degree C. These performances indicate high potential for 40 Gb/s transmission system application.
