Jm. Marx et al., GHZ-BANDWIDTH OPTICAL-INTENSITY MODULATION IN SELF-POLED WAVE-GUIDES IN STRONTIUM BARIUM NIOBATE (SBN), IEEE photonics technology letters, 8(8), 1996, pp. 1024-1025
Wide-band electrooptic intensity modulation at a wavelength of 1.3 mu
m has been demonstrated in single mode channel waveguides in SBN:60 wi
thout repoling the substrates after processing at elevated temperature
s. Waveguide losses were less than or equal to 0.7 dB/cm for both pola
rizations.
