Abstract

The proposed characterization method for electro-optic modulators was utilized to compare two distinct lithium nio-bate modulator implementations over an optical bandwidth of 400 nm. The results show insertion loss of the designed multi-band transmitter below 8.2 dB and confirm its broadband capabilities over 59 THz.
