Effect of electrode gap variation on high speed traveling wave electro-optic modulators

Summary form only given. We report our results on GaAs-AlGaAs traveling wave Mach-Zehnder electro optical modulators. We measured the phase velocity, matched modulators with electrode /spl mu/m gaps. This paper discusses the effect of this gap variation on modulator characteristics.
