Abstract
We demonstrate high baud-rate DQPSK modulation with full-ETDM technique using a novel high-speed optical IQ modulator consisting of a ridge-type optical waveguide structure on a thin LiNbO3 substrate. Our fabrication technique achieves a drastic extension of the modulator's bandwidth and a reduction of half-wave voltage. Demonstration of 90-Gbaud NRZ-DP-DQPSK signal generation with the modulator successfully achieved a bit rate of 360-Gb/s under full-ETDM configuration.
