Kw. Hui et al., DESIGN OF MODIFIED PHASE REVERSAL ELECTRODE IN BROAD-BAND ELECTROOPTIC MODULATORS AT 100 GHZ, IEEE transactions on microwave theory and techniques, 45(1), 1997, pp. 142-145
An analysis is given on the modified phase reversal structure of elect
ro-optic modulators. It is shown that the bandwidth to half-wave volta
ge ratio (BVR) increases with the number of phase reversal sections. U
nder the assumption that the number of electrode sections is ni, a set
of M-elements second-order nonlinear equations has been derived and s
olved by Newton's iteration method, The calculated results provide the
optimum overlap integral for each section of a phase reversal modulat
or in order to ''flatten'' the frequency response of the device.
