Abstract :
Guided-wave electro-optic phase modulators with long resonant electrodes and polarisation reversals are proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Adopting polarisation-reversal structures to electro-optic modulators with standing-wave resonant electrodes operated in a higher-order harmonic resonance mode, high-efficiency optical modulation is obtained by compensation of the transit-time effect.
