研究目的
Optimization of coplanar waveguide structure for ultra-wideband integrated electro-optic Mach-Zehnder modulator to minimize RF loss, impedance mismatch, and velocity mismatch.
研究成果
An optimized CPW design for thin-film lithium-niobate Mach-Zehnder EOMs was proposed, achieving a 3-dB bandwidth up to 400 GHz for a modulator with an active length of 3 mm. The design minimizes RF loss, impedance mismatch, and velocity mismatch, enabling operation at frequencies up to the terahertz range.
研究不足
The study primarily focuses on numerical simulations and may require experimental validation. The trade-off between RF loss and drive voltage needs careful consideration in practical applications.
