Abstract

This paper proposes a new crosstie overlay slow-wave structure for a traveling-wave electro-optical modulator and presents a design method including design considerations for the optimum structure. This structure can be designed to satisfy the phase velocity and impedance matching conditions simultaneously over a broad spectral bandwidth. This idea can be applied to a number of electrode structures for broadband traveling-wave optical modulators.
