Abstract
An out‐diffused planar optical waveguide in LiNbO3 has been used to produce an efficient broad‐band electro‐optic phase modulator. The ratio of modulation index η and voltage is 0.13 V−1, the maximum base bandwidth with 50‐Ω load is 3.2 GHz, and the modulating power per unit bandwidth for η=1 rad is 0.2 mW/MHz.Keywords
