Abstract

A low drive voltage, InP-based waveguide optical phase modulator for the 1.5-1.55μm fibre band is reported. V_n values of 3.5Vmm at 1.5μm wavelength and 4.6V mm at 1.55μm are obtained. No change in the transmitted light intensity is discernible at 1.55μm, with just 0.27dBmm^-1 modulation accompanying a 0-5 V voltage swing at 1.5μm. An 850μm long device had a bandwidth of 2.8GHz, limited by parasitic bond-pad capacitance.
