Abstract

The invention discloses a graphene Mach-Zehnder intensity modulator and its linearization method, comprising a first modulation arm, a second modulation arm, a first positive electrode, a second positive electrode, a negative electrode and a substrate layer, the first The modulation arm and the second modulation arm are graphene ridge waveguides, and the two modulation arms constitute a Mach-Zehnder interference structure; the graphene ridge waveguide includes a first ridge, a graphene layer, a second Ridge; the first ridge is isolated from the graphene layer by the first isolation layer, and the second ridge is isolated from the graphene layer by the second isolation layer; the first positive electrode and the second positive electrode are respectively located in the first modulation arm and on the graphene layer extending from the graphene ridge waveguide of the second modulation arm, the negative electrode is located on the first isolation layer extending from the graphene ridge waveguide; the light wave of the TE mode of the input incident constant power changes the modulation arm The bias voltage is used to measure the output optical power of the modulator, and the curve of the transmitted optical power of the modulator as a function of the bias voltage is obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optoelectronics, and in particular relates to a graphene Mach-Zehnder intensity modulator and a linearization method thereof. Background technique [0002] Mach-Zehnder electro-optic modulator, as the core device of optical fiber communication link, plays a pivotal role in microwave photonic system, optical signal transmission and processing system. By using the Mach-Zehnder interference structure, by changing the phase difference of the light field in the modulation arm of the modulator, the interference intensity of the light fields of the two arms is changed, so as to realize the purpose of loading the electrical signal onto the optical signal. However, the Mach-Zehnder EO modulator based on lithium niobate crystal has a sublinear sinusoidal transmission curve, so when an electrical signal is loaded on the light wave, nonlinear distortion will be introduced, which severely limits the performance of the...
