A systematic design approach using the developed numerical model for the investigation of any arbitrary electrooptic modulator configuration is described, and its application to the simulation and synthesis of resonantly enhanced Mach-Zehnder modulators (RE-MZMs) is demonstrated. The tool is implemented using equivalent circuit model using transmission lines, lumped elements, and N-port S-parameters. The numerical tool is used to simulate the modulation enhancement factor and radio frequency (RF) return loss of a number of theoretically and experimentally demonstrated examples. Finally, the design tool is used to synthesize a new optimized RE-MZM. This RE-MZM is fabricated and measured, and predicted results are compared.

“…Several narrow bandwidth optical modulators have been proposed in the literature to provide improved modulation efficiency at the expense of bandwidth. This are called resonantly enhanced Mach-Zehnder modulators (RE-MZMs) [5]- [9]. A few examples of RE-MZMs where optical resonators are used have been reported [10].…”

“…To realize broadband E-O conversion, external modulation using Mach-Zehnder (MZM) and electroabsorption modulators (EAMs) have already been demonstrated [6,7]. In addition, it has recently been shown that the use of resonant enhancement and the optimization of modulators for analog applications can lead to modulators having both low cost and high conversion efficiency [8]. [12].…”
