Traveling-wave ring circuit for resonant enhancement of electrooptic modulators

Traditional implementations of resonantly enhanced electrooptic modulators are limited in their modulation enhancement and tuning ability. In this letter, a novel electrode structure based on a traveling-wave resonant ring circuit is described for which resonant frequency and resonator quality facto...

Zusammenfassung:Traditional implementations of resonantly enhanced electrooptic modulators are limited in their modulation enhancement and tuning ability. In this letter, a novel electrode structure based on a traveling-wave resonant ring circuit is described for which resonant frequency and resonator quality factor are easily tunable. Experimental results are presented which demonstrate significant improvements over traditional standing-wave designs.
