TRAVELING WAVEGUIDE IN MACH-ZEHNDER MODULATOR TO FACILITATE PHASE MATCH AND IMPEDANCE MATCH

Abstract:

Embodiments described herein may be related to apparatuses, processes, and techniques directed to phase match and impedance match to enable a higher baud rate for ultra-high-speed TW-MZM for 100 Gbaud or above for PAM applications, and/or 120 Gbaud or above for QAM applications. Embodiments described herein may include ultra-high-speed TW-MZM based on differential signal-to-signal (SS) TW using a push-pull PN structure. These embodiments facilitate high speeds for a TW-MZM due to decreased complexity by eliminating a ground in the TW. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
