Abstract
We propose a high-frequency traveling-wave integrated electro-optic modulat or based on a periodically poled LiNbO3. The traveling velocity of the opti cal wave and the electrical wave velocity in the waveguide can be quasimatc hed due to the periodic structure. Using this design, a modulation frequenc y of several hundred GHz can be realized. Wide-bandwidth modulation is also achievable by employing an aperiodic domain grating.
