Title
Electro-Optic Modulators Using Double Antenna-Coupled Electrodes For Radio-Over-Fiber Systems
Abstract
We propose new electro-optic modulators using a double antenna-coupled electrode structure for radio-over-fiber systems. The proposed modulators are composed of a pair of patch antennas and a standing-wave resonant electrode. By utilizing a pair of patch antennas on SiO2 substrates and a coupled-microstrip line resonant electrode on a LiNbO3 substrate with a symmetric configuration, high-efficiency optical modulation is obtainable for 2 4 optical waveguides at the same time. The proposed modulators were designed at 58 GHz and their basic operations were demonstrated successfully with an improvement of 9 dB compared to a single antenna-coupled electrode device on a LiNbO3 substrate in our previous work.
