Abstract
It is shown that the bandwidth of a traveling-wave electro-optical modulator can be greatly increased by matching of the group velocities of the optical and rf waves in the waveguides with cascaded Bragg gratings. A Mach–Zehnder modulator with
1-V half-wave voltage and a bandwidth in excess of 100 GHz is proposed and its performance evaluated.
