Abstract

The rat-race (RR) circuit, which operates as a 180-degree hybrid, with an asymmetric power split ratio was integrated with the dual electrode type electro-optic modulator on the same substrate. Thereby, frequency chirp modulation with a compact configuration was realized. The RR circuit was designed with 4.5 1 power split ratio on a z-cut LiNbO3 substrate. The operation of the modulator was confirmed by observing the output light spectra. Moreover, the chirp parameter was directly measured by using the chromic dispersion of the optical fiber, where the power penalty of detected modulation signals transmitted through optical fiber was observed as a function of the fiber distance. The chirp parameter of the modulated light at 10 GHz was confirmed to be 0.47 by the measurement.
