Stable electro-optic modulators using thin-film lithium tantalate

Optics 2024-11-21 v1 Applied Physics Quantum Physics

Abstract

We demonstrate electro-optic modulators realized in low-loss thin-film lithium tantalate with superior DC-stability (<1 dB power fluctuation from quadrature with 12.1 dBm input) compared to equivalent thin-film lithium niobate modulators (5 dB fluctuation) over 46 hours.
