Abstract

A study of the effect of high optical power levels, at a wavelength of 1.51 μn, on the characteristics of LiNbO₃ Mach—Zehnder waveguide modulators is reported. It is shown that the important modulator parameters, i.e. optical phase bias, extinction ratio, insertion loss and switching voltage, are stable for waveguide powers of <75 mW.
