In this paper, a photonic-based microwave system technology is described, and a traveling-wave electro-optic modulator is designed and manufactured as a key component. The fabricated modulator is composed of a metal diffusion waveguide for optical transmission and a planar waveguide electrode on lithium niobate substrate for microwave transmission. The electro-optic response bandwidth of I and Q channels in a fabricated dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator were measured for 27.67 and 28.11 GHz, respectively. Photonic four times up-converted X-band frequency and linear frequency modulated signal were confirmed using the fabricated electro-optic modulator by S-band input signal. The confirmed broadband signal can be applied to a microwave system for surveillance and high-resolution ISAR imaging.

Electro-optic modulator (EOM) takes a vital role in connecting the electric and optical fields. Here, we present a heterogeneously integrated EOM based on the lithium niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) platform. The key modulation waveguide structure is a field-enhanced slot waveguide formed by embedding silicon nanowires in a thin-film lithium niobate (LN), which is different from the previously reported LN ridge or etchless LN waveguides. Based on such slot structure, optical mode field area is reduced and enhanced electric field in the slot region can interact well with LN material with high Electro-optic (EO) coefficient. Therefore, the improvements in both aspects have positive effects on enhancing the modulation performance. From results, the corresponding EOM by adding such modulation waveguide structure achieves better performance, where the key half-wave-voltage-length product (V_𝜋L) and 3 dB EO bandwidth are 1.78 V·cm and 40 GHz under the electrode gap width of only 6 ㎛, respectively. Moreover, Lower V_𝜋L can also be achieved. With these characteristics, such field-enhanced waveguide structure could further promote the development of LNOI-based EOM.

In this paper, we demonstrate a polarization independent optical phase modulator using electro-optic polymer, P2ANS. To overcome the intrinsic polarization dependency of electro-optic effect, we control the optic axis using a new electrode structure. P2ANS(42:75) and P2ANS(25:75) are used for the core layer and the cladding layer, respectively. The buried-type single mode waveguide is fabricated by oxygen ion reactive etching and electic poling is performed by applying 1, 200V at 135$^{\circ}C$. The measured V$_{\pi}$ of the device for both TE and TM modes are 70V.

The proton conserving effect of diffusion with self-aligned SiO2-cladding is investigated by infrared transmission spectra. Based on the proton conserving effect, proton-diffused channel waveguides with self-aligned SiO2-cladding substrates. And an electro-optic cutoff modulator with self aligned electrode that utilizes a single-mode proton-diffused channel waveguide in a Y-cut XX-propagating LiNbO3 substrate is fabricated. Over 20 dB extinction has been achieved with applied voltage of 15V.

본 논문에서는 선형전기광효과(Pockel 효과)를 이용하여 X대역 마이크로파(9375 MHz)를 광변조하는데 관하여 이론적인 해석과 실험적인 연구를 했다. 전기광 결정체 KDP를 공진형 변조기로 설계하여 z축으로 광선과 평행하게 마이크로파 전계를 인가하여 변조했다. 변조파 출력을 가변단락판의 위치변화에 따라 관찰했으며 /2에서 변조가 잘 개폐되는 것을 알았다. 또한 출력변조의 세기를 인가 전계의 세기를 변화시켜 측정하여 이론곡선과 비교해서 약 5%의 오차를 얻었다. 결과적으로 아직 해결되어야 할 문제는 많이 있지만 비교적 만족스러운 광변조기를 얻었다.

We have demonstrated a $Ti:LiNbO_3$ electro-optic electric-field sensor utilizing a $1{\times}2$ Y-fed balanced-bridge Mach-Zehnder interferometric (YBB-MZI) modulator, which uses a 3-dB directional coupler at the output and has two complementary output waveguides. A dc switching voltage of ~25 V and an extinction ratio of ~12.5 dB are observed at a wavelength of $1.3{\mu}m$. For a 20 dBm rf input power, the minimum detectable electric fields are ~8.21, 7.24, and ~13.3 V/m, corresponding to dynamic ranges of ~10, ~12, and ~7 dB at frequencies of 10, 30, and 50 MHz respectively. The sensors exhibit almost linear response for an applied electric-field intensity from 0.29 V/m to 29.8 V/m.
