Improving the modulation efficiency of thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) modulators is essential to reducing drive voltage and device length, thereby enabling compact chip integration and enhanced ...

We propose a novel thin-film lithium niobate modulators on silicon substrate using thick traveling-wave electrodes. The 3 dB bandwidth can be enhanced to >120 GHz,and half-wave voltage 2 V.
