Abstract
In field induced waveguides, the guiding effect is produced via the electro-optic effect by applying a voltage difference on coplanar electrodes separated by a gap where the waveguiding action takes place. These kind of guides combine inherently both, wave guiding and modulation. The first version of these modulators were introduced back in 1971 [1], and required operation voltages of the order of 300 Volts. Later developments [2]–[4], allowed operation at much lower voltages and shorter overall device lengths.
