Recently, researches for high-speed optical devices have been increased to provide mass data transmission and high-speed optical communication. Optical modulator in the transmission link is one of the crucial devices in total optical network system and it can affect a great effect to the whole transmission properties. In this paper, traveling wave electro-absorption modulator (TWEAM) is examined to ensure high efficiency in the RF range and wide bandwidth. In addition, the temperature-dependence electrical characteristics of TWEAM is investigated. Temperature dependent property variations were characterized using I-V and C-V measurement.

A novel approach for frequency-tripling vector signal generation via balanced detection without precoding and optical filter is proposed. The scheme is mainly utilizing an integrated dual-polarization quadrature phase shift keying (DPQPSK) modulator. In the DPQPSK modulator, one QPSK modulator is driven by an RF signal to generate high-order optical sidebands, while the other QPSK modulator is modulated by I/Q data streams to produce baseband vector signal as an optical carrier. After that, a frequency-tripling 16-quadrature-amplitude-modulation (16QAM) vector millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signal can be obtained by balanced detection. The proposed scheme can reduce the complexity of transmitter digital signal processing. The results show that, a 4 Gbaud baseband 16QAM vector signal can be generated at 30 GHz by frequency-tripling. After 10 km single-mode fiber (SMF) transmission, the constellation and eye diagrams of the generated vector signal perform well and a bit-error-rate (BER) below than 1e-3 can be achieved.

A guided-wave electro-optic Mach-Zehnder interferometric modulator was fabricated on X-cut LiNbO3 . The channel waveguides were formed by proton diffusion with self-aligned SiO2-cladding. A mach-Zehnder interferometric modulator with arm lengths of 7mm has been fabricated and tested at 0.6328${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Its modulation depth with V$\pi$ of only 3.5V was 85% and the 3dB bandwidth was 1.6KHz. For high speed operation, the electrode dimension should be reduced to have smaller R, L, and C.

A guided-wave electrooptic Mach-Zehnder interferometric modulator was fabricated on Y-cut acoustic grade LiNbO3 process. In order to reduce the electrode capacitance, serial capacitance electrode(SCE) structure was adopted. Extinction ratio more than 30dB was obtained with V$\pi$ of 4.69 volt at λ= 0.6328${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Frequency response was measured by using the swept frequency technique, and the bandwidth of the modulator was about 1GHz.

Terahertz (THz) communication has important applications in high-speed and ultra broadband wireless access networks. The THz modulator is one of the key devices in a THz communications system. Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) can expand the capacity of THz communications systems, so research on multi wavelength THz modulators has significant value. By combining photonic-crystal and THz technology, a novel type of multi wavelength THz modulator based on a triple-lattice photonic crystal is proposed in this paper. Compared to a compound-lattice photonic crystal, a triple-lattice photonic crystal has a larger gap width of 0.196. Simulation results show that six beams of THz waves can be modulated simultaneously with high performance. This modulator's extinction ratio is as large as 34.25 dB, its insertion loss is as low as 0.147 dB, and its modulation rate is 2.35 GHz.

CuCl, KDP 결정체를 이용한 지그재그형 진헹파 전기광학적 레이저 변조기에 대해 자세히 해석했다. 변조기와 크기와 대역폭은 변조용 결정체의 광학적 특성및 M/W유전특성에 의해 결정됨을 알수 있다. 더욱 광손실과 M/W손실의 영향, 입사각, 회절등의 영향을 규명했고 최적 설계법을 제시했다. 중요한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) CuCl, KDP로 10(GHz)이상의 대역폭에서 3(watt)이하의 변조전력으로 50%변조를 얻었다. (2) 변조주파수 한계의 상한은 레이저 빔폭에 의한 차단주파수로 인해 제한된다. A detailed analysis has been carried out of a zigzag traveling wave electro-optic laser modulator usin3 CuCl, KDP Crystal. The inclusion of such practical factors as M/W and optical loss results in an optimum design in which modulator dimensions and bandwidth limitation are uniquely determined by optical and M/W dielectic properties of modulating crystal. The main conclusion of the analysis are: (1) CuCl, KDP may be used to produce 50% modulation over bandwidth of 10(GHz) with less than (watt) of modulating power. (2) The upper modulation frequency limit is set by a cutoff frequency which arises from finite width of optical beam.

In this study, we describe the properties of an electro-optical modulator with CPW(coplanar waveguide) electrode fabricated on $LiNvO_3$ optical waveguide, that is applicable to optical communications. These optical modulators have features that use a buffer layer to reduce velocity mismatch between microwaves and optical wave as well as employ CPW to improve impedance and propagation mode mismatch between the electrode and the external circuits. And an annealed proton exchange technique for obtaining low-loss optical waveguides and good reproducibility was employed. Taking into consideration the mentioned background, to achieve the lower driving voltage of optical modulator, we have re-disigned the longer interaction length. And their device properties are discussed also. As a result, fabricated optical modulators of good 10Gps operation and low voltage(5.6V of the halfwave lengfth voltage) at an $1.5{\mu}m$ wavelength are achived with good reproducibility.
