Estimation of direct current bias and drift of Ti:LiNbO3 optical modulators

The dc drift data of Ti:LiNbO3 optical modulators are well fitted to an exponential equation, describing the relaxation phenomena of the dielectric materials. The relaxation time and the saturation voltage ratio, which are necessary to estimate the dc bias follow-up control, can be obtained from sim...

Summary:The dc drift data of Ti:LiNbO3 optical modulators are well fitted to an exponential equation, describing the relaxation phenomena of the dielectric materials. The relaxation time and the saturation voltage ratio, which are necessary to estimate the dc bias follow-up control, can be obtained from simple dc drift measurements.
