Abstract
An optical waveguide phase modulator has been fabricated on X-cut LiNbO3 by using proton exchange in benzoic acid. The phase modulator was operated as a serrodyne optical-frequency translator with shifted-signal to image-signal discrimination of 52 dB for a 4-MHz frequency shift. The amplitude of the sawtooth driving signal was 10 V peak to peak. Application of a de bias voltage of either polarity was found to cause a substantial reduction in transmitted-light intensity.
