Abstract

The invention is applicable to an electro-optic modulator, and provides an electro-optic modulator and a preparation method thereof. The electro-optic modulator comprises a low refractive index substrate layer, a first graphene electrode, a second graphene electrode, a first metal electrode formed on the first graphene electrode, a second metal electrode formed on the second graphene electrode, ahigh electro-optic coefficient optical waveguide formed on the substrate layer and a low refractive index covering layer covering the high electro-optic coefficient optical waveguide, wherein the first graphene electrode and the second graphene electrode are formed on the substrate layer; and the first graphene electrode and the second graphene electrode are attached to the two sides of the high electro-optic coefficient optical waveguide respectively. By implementation of the electro-optic modulator, not only can the electro-optic modulator be miniaturized, but also the electro-optical modulation efficiency can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electro-optic modulators, in particular to an electro-optic modulator and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Due to its excellent properties, including high electro-optic response, high intrinsic bandwidth, wide transparent window (0.35um-5um) and good thermal stability, lithium niobate materials have been widely studied and applied in electro-optic modulators. However, because lithium niobate material is difficult to etch, the existing lithium niobate electro-optic modulator has a large structure size (generally about 10 cm), and it is difficult to realize the miniaturization and integration of the device. [0003] In order to reduce the size of the device and improve the performance of the modulator, the existing technology is to prepare optical waveguides by combining other high refractive index materials, such as silicon nitride, silicon, etc., or use lithium niobate to prepare optical ...
