Abstract
A method for separating the propagation loss, the reflection loss, and the coupling loss in a pigtailed integrated electro-optic modulator i s proposed. This method is based on the measurement of the reflected a nd transmitted powers at the input and output ports of the device at i ts on and off states, respectively. Experimental results are presented for a Mach-Zehnder modulator. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
