Abstract

The invention discloses a thin-film lithium niobate electrooptical modulator and a preparation method thereof. The modulator comprises a substrate, a buried oxide layer, a polymer layer and an optical waveguide layer which are sequentially arranged from bottom to top, a metal signal electrode and a metal grounding electrode are arranged on the optical waveguide layer or in the polymer layer below the optical waveguide layer, and a 1 * 2 beam splitter, a Mach-Zehnder modulator and a 2 * 1 beam combiner are arranged on the upper bottom surface of the optical waveguide layer. The 1 * 2 beam splitter and the 2 * 1 beam combiner are located on the two sides of the Mach-Zehnder modulator, and the two output ends of the 1 * 2 beam splitter are connected with the two input ends of the 2 * 1 beam combiner through the Mach-Zehnder modulator. According to the invention, microwave loss caused by the substrate in the technological process is avoided, the technological difficulty is reduced, the modulation efficiency is improved, and the electro-optical modulator with ultra-large bandwidth, low loss, compactness and ultra-high performance is realized.
