Performance signature and optical signal processing of high speed electro-optic modulators

This paper has presented the transmission performance evaluation of polymer and semiconductor elect-optic modulators for ultra high speed operations and applications. The modulated bandwidth, the transmitted signal bandwidth, and data transmission rates within modified Shannon technique are deeply and parametrically designed over wide ranges of the affecting set of parameters via specially designed software which processes the interaction of causes and effects. The design parameters of the lumped circuit have been processed over large operating requirements. As the bit rates of optical network systems become high, it becomes more difficult to drive a modulator with a high voltage. Therefore, reduction of the driving voltage of electro optic modulator (EOM) with a broadband characteristic is an extremely important issue for realizing future high speed optical transmission systems. Moreover polymer electro-optic devices have been extensively studied and explored due to its intrinsic advantages over conventional materials such as high speed operation, compatibility with other materials and substrates.
