Abstract

A Mach ¿C Zehnder light intensity modulator with microring in non ¿C balance coupling type is prepared as connecting one end of two interference arms to one end of beam splitting couple structure with its one end being connected to input waveguide and another end of two said arms to one end of beam combining interference structure with its another end being connected to output waveguide; setting light microring on one side of any interference arm ; applying Y branch, X node, directional coupler or multimode interference coupler on two said structures separately .

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to optical components, in particular to a Mach-Zehnder light intensity modulator with a microring using an unbalanced coupling structure. Background technique [0002] As an external modulation method of optical signals, optical modulator is one of the important devices in optical communication technology. People have successfully developed various optical modulators by using various effects of various materials. In recent years, due to the need for direct modulation transmission of analog signals, there has been a specific demand for optical intensity modulators with highly linear modulation characteristics. As the basic optical intensity modulator structure, the Mach-Zehnder interference structure is the most commonly used optical intensity modulator structure, but because its modulation characteristic curve is a typical sinusoidal curve, it cannot meet the requirements of highly linear analog signal modulation. requirements. ...
