Abstract

The invention discloses an electro-optic modulator and a manufacturing method thereof. The electro-optic modulator comprises a low-permittivity bonding layer arranged in sequence from bottom to top on a low-permittivity substrate, a lithium niobate waveguide structure, and a microwave Coplanar waveguide transmission lines are based on periodic metal electrodes formed by loading. Adoption of the present invention can reduce the microwave loss caused by the distance between electrodes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical communication devices, in particular to an electro-optical modulator and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Optical fiber communication is one of the main pillars of modern communication. With the explosive growth of data communication services, people have put forward higher and higher requirements for communication bandwidth. The single-wavelength bandwidth of the current optical fiber communication system is moving from 2.5Gb / s and 10Gb / s to higher bandwidth. Loading information to the laser is divided into internal modulation and external modulation. The chirp caused by the internal modulation is relatively large, and its transmission distance is limited due to the dispersion effect of the optical fiber, and the modulation bandwidth is not high. External modulation mainly includes electro-absorption amplitude modulator and electro-optic phase modulator. The inheren...
