Ultrabroad-bandwidth electro-optic modulator based on a cascaded Bragg grating.
It is shown that the bandwidth of a traveling-wave electro-optical modulator can be greatly increased by matching of the group velocities of the optical and rf waves in the waveguides with cascaded Bragg gratings. A LiNbO>(3) Mach-Zehnder modulator with 1-V half-wave voltage and a bandwidth in excess of 100 GHz is proposed and its performance evaluated.
