Abstract
A multi-channel optical modulator with 16 independent modulators is fabricated using an electro-optic (EO) polymer with a large EO coefficient and good thermal stability. The 16-channel modulator has lumped type electrodes for modulation and heaters for thermal biasing. The device has good uniform modulation characteristics between individual modulators. The deviation of half-wave voltages is 0.2 V and that of insertion losses about 1 dB. Crosstalks range from -28 to -36 dB and extinction ratios are more than 21 dB.
