High-efficiency lithium niobate modulator for K band operation

This paper reports a hybrid silicon nitride–lithium niobate electro-optic Mach–Zehnder-interferometer modulator that demonstrates overall improvements in terms of half-wave voltage, optical insertion loss, extinction ratio, and operational bandwidth. The fabricated device exhibits a DC half-wave vol...
