Paper Abstract
A rigorous numerical model has been developed to study Ti:LiNbO3 modulators. In this study two types of devices are examined: directional coupler-based and Mach-Zehnder interferometric-based modulators. The benefits of using etched ridge waveguides for the MZI modulator are also shown: namely a significant reduction in V(pi )L and smaller, more compact bends for the input and output waveguides to the MZI modulator without incurring as high loss when compared with an unetched waveguide modulator. In this study it was then shown that the device characteristics of these modulators can be optimized by variation of some of the fabrication parameters.
