What Is Optical Modulator
           • A device that modulates or
             varies the amplitude of an
             optical signal in a controlled
             manner.
           • Generates desired intensity,
             color in the passing light by
             changing optical parameters
             such as the transmission
             factor, refractive index,
             reflection factor, degree of
             deflection and coherency of
             light in the optical system
             according to the
             modulating signal .
Why Do we use an Optical
      Modulator
            • Directly modulating the
              laser causes frequency
              chirp,pulse spreading
              in optical fibers, and
              loss of information.
            • We may also use an
              optical modulator
              when we cannot easily
              or rapidly vary the
              output of a laser.
How Does It Work?
Modulation Techniques
•Direct modulation of laser diode
   •Vary the current supply to the laser diode
   •Directly modulates the output power of the laser
   •Output frequency drifts
      •carrier induced (chirp)
      •temperature variation due to carrier
      modulation
   •Limited modulation depth (don’t want to turn off
   laser)
Direct Modulation




• The message signal (ac) is superimposed on the
  bias current (dc) which modulates the laser
• Robust and simple, hence widely used
• Issues: laser resonance frequency, chirp, turn on
  delay, clipping and laser nonlinearity
External modulation

• Change the transmission characteristics
• Change the power of a continuous wave
  laser
• Electro-optical modulation (low
  efficiency)
• Electroabsorption (EA) modulation
  (smaller modulation bandwidth).
External Optical Modulation




•   Modulation and light generation are separated
•   Offers much wider bandwidth  up to 60 GHz
•   More expensive and complex
•   Used in high end systems
Types of Optical Modulators
Electroabsorption (EA) Modulator
EA modulator is a semiconductor device
 which can be used for controlling the
 intensity of a laser beam via an electric
 voltage.Principle of operation is based on
 Franz-Keldysh effect i.e. a change in the
 absorption spectrum caused by an
 applied electric field,which changes the
 band gap energy.
Schematics of an EA modulator
Advantages of EA modulators
•   Zero biasing voltage
•   Low driving voltage
•   Low/negative chirp
•   high bandwidth
Electro Optic Modulator
• An electro-optic modulator is a device which can be used
  for controlling the power, phase or polarization of a laser
  beam with an electrical control signal. It typically contains
  one or two Pockels cells, and possibly additional optical
  elements such as polarizers. Different types of Pockels cells
  are shown in Figure 1. The principle of operation is based
  on the linear electro-optic effect (also called the Pockels
  effect), i.e., the modification of the refractive index of a
  nonlinear crystal by an electric field in proportion to the
  field strength.
 Pockels Effect:
  In many materials the s term is negligible
      (E)      r E     r: Pockels coefficient
                1       3
     n( E ) n   2   r nE
 Typical value of r 10-12-10-10 m/V (1-100 pm/V);
 For E=106 V/m => rn3E/2 ~10-6-10-4 (very small).
 Most common crystals used as Pockels cells:
 NH4H2PO4 (ADP), KH2PO4 (KDP), LiNbO3,
 LiTaO3.
 Kerr Effect:
  If the materials is centrosymmetric, as is the case
  gases, liquid, and certain crystals, n(E) must be a
  even function => r = 0
       (E)      s E2       s: Kerr coefficient
    n( E ) n    1
                2   s n3E 2
Types of Electro-optic Modulators

• Phase Modulators
The simplest type of electro-optic modulator is a
  phase modulator containing only a Pockels cell,
  where an electric field (applied to the crystal via
  electrodes) changes the phase delay of a laser
  beam sent through the crystal.The polarization of
  the input beam often has to be aligned with one
  of the optical axes of the crystal, so that the
  polarization state is not changed.
Polarization Modulators

• Depending on the type and orientation
  of the nonlinear crystal, and on the
  direction of the applied electric field, the
  phase delay can depend on the
  polarization direction. A Pockels cell can
  thus be seen as a voltage-controlled
  waveplate.
Amplitude Modulators

• Combined with other optical elements, in
  particular with polarizers, Pockels cells can be
  used for other kinds of modulation. In
  particular, an amplitude modulator is based on
  a Pockels cell for modifying the polarization
  state and a polarizer for subsequently
  converting this into a change in transmitted
  optical amplitude and power.

                               40 MHz
AOM = acousto optic modulator
• AOM = acousto optic modulator (or deflector)
• RF signal converted to sound waves in crystal
   – Use fast piezo-electric transducer like Li NbO3
• Sound waves are collimated to form grating
• Bragg scatter from grating gives deflected beam
   – can separate from original
• Problem with AOM -- weak link
• Sound takes time to travel from transducer to laser
  beam
   – Time delay: tD = l / v -- acts like multi-pole rolloff
   – (phase shift increases with frequency)
AOM Contd..

The acoustic wave may be absorbed at the other end of
the crystal. Such a traveling-wave geometry makes it
possible to achieve a broad modulation bandwidth of
many megahertz. Other devices are resonant for the
sound wave, exploiting the strong reflection of the
acoustic wave at the other end of the crystal. The
resonant enhancement can greatly increase the
modulation strength (or decrease the required acoustic
power), but reduces the modulation bandwidth .
AOM Contd..
• Common materials for acousto-optic devices are tellurium
  dioxide (TeO2), crystalline quartz, and fused silica. There are
  manifold criteria for the choice of the material, including
  the elasto-optic coefficients, the transparency range, the
  optical damage threshold, and required size. One may also
  use different kinds of acoustic waves. Most common is the
  use of longitudinal (compression) waves. These lead to the
  highest diffraction efficiencies, which however depend on
  the polarization of the optical beam. Polarization-
  independent operation is obtained when using acoustic
  shear waves (with the acoustic movement in the direction
  of the laser beam), which however make the diffraction less
  efficient.
What is Mach-Zender optical
              modulator?
•Optical modulators based on the external modulation
principles include a Mach-Zehnder interferometric optical
modulator (MZ, or MZI).
•First silicon-based modulator with frequency > 1GHz!
•Attractive from cost point of view
•Advanced electronics on silicon (widely used bipolar and
CMOS technology)
•Needed to encode data on a continuous wave of light
output by a laser, for use in an optical communication link
The Mach-Zender modulator – how
          does it work?
Novel phase-shifter
Design embedded
in a passive silicon
waveguide Mach-
Zender interferometer. Optical modulators
  based on the external modulation principles
  include a Mach-Zehnder interferometric
  optical modulator .
Contd….
• A Mach-Zehnder interferometer optical modulator
  utilizes a mechanism such that when light
  propagated through a waveguide is branched in two
  directions and a modulation signal current is flowed
  through the center of each branch, there occur
  magnetic fields of opposite phases with respect to
  grounds provided on opposite sides in a sandwiching
  relation to the waveguides, so that the phases of
  light signals propagated through the respective
  routes become opposite to each other and the phase
  lead and lag are offset each other when both lights
  are later combined together.

• Voltage induced charge density depends on
  the permittivity of the oxide, electron charge,
  gate oxide thickness, effective charge layer
  thickness, and the flat band voltage.
• The change in refractive index depends on the
  wavelength, the effective index change in
  wavelength, and the length of
  the phase shifter.
Why is it so efficient?
Because charge transport in the MOS
capacitor is governed by the majority
carriers, thus device bandwidth is
not limited by the relatively slow
carrier recombination process of pin
diode Devices.
Challenges and Hurdles
• On-chip loss: 6.7dB loss due to doped
polysilicon phaseshifter and undoped
polysilicon waveguide -> use single crystal
silicon or increase the phase modulation
efficiency (reduce active waveguide
length)
• Limited frequency response
Applications and Commercial
               products
• Electro-optic modulator
  Phase Modulator is a high performance, low
  drive voltage External Optical Modulator
  designed for customers developing next
  generation transmission systems. The
  increased bandwidth allows for chirp control
  in high-speed data communication.
Contd…..
• modulating the power of a laser beam, e.g. for
  laser printing, high-speed digital data recording,
  or high-speed optical communications
• in laser frequency stabilization schemes, e.g. with
  the Pound–Drever–Hall method
• Q switching of solid-state lasers (where the EOM
  serves to block the laser resonator before the
  pulse is to be emitted)
Contd……
• active mode locking (where the EOM
  modulates the resonator losses or the optical
  phase with the round-trip frequency or a
  multiple thereof).

• switching pulses in pulse pickers, regenerative
  amplifiers and cavity-dumped lasers.
Applications Of AOM
• They are used for Q switching of solid-state lasers. The
  AOM, called Q switch, then serves to block the laser
  resonator before the pulse is generated. In most cases,
  the zero-order (undiffracted beam) is used under lasing
  conditions, and the AOM is turned on when lasing
  should be prohibited. This requires that the caused
  diffraction losses (possibly for two passes per resonator
  round trip) are higher than the laser gain. For high-gain
  lasers (for example, fiber lasers), one sometimes uses
  the first-order diffracted beam under lasing conditions,
  so that very high resonator losses result when the
  AOM is turned off. However, the losses in the lasing
  state are then also fairly high.
Contd……
• AOMs can also be used for cavity dumping of
  solid-state lasers, generating either
  nanosecond or ultrashort pulses. In the latter
  case, the speed of an AOM is sufficient only
  in the case of a relatively long laser
  resonator; an electro-optic modulator may
  otherwise be required.
Contd…
• Active mode locking is often performed with an
  AOM for modulating the resonator losses at the
  round-trip frequency or a multiple thereof.

• An AOM can be used as a pulse picker for
  reducing the pulse repetition rate of a pulse train,
  e.g. in order to allow for subsequent
  amplification of pulses to high pulse energies.
Contd….
• In laser printers and other devices, an AOM can be used for
  modulating the power of a laser beam. The modulation
  may be continuous or digital (on/off).

• An AOM can shift the frequency of a laser beam, e.g. in
  various measurement schemes, or in lasers which are
  mode-locked via frequency-shifted optical feedback.

• In some cases one exploits the effect that the diffraction
  angle depends on the acoustic frequency. In particular, one
  can scan the output beam direction (at least in a small
  range) by changing the modulation frequency.

  • 2. Presented BY- • Rahul Chatterjee(ECE/08/08) • Pritam Konar(ECE/08/17) • Ankur Rudra(ECE/08/29) • Tapadru Bhadra(ECE/08/12)
  • 3. What Is Optical Modulator • A device that modulates or varies the amplitude of an optical signal in a controlled manner. • Generates desired intensity, color in the passing light by changing optical parameters such as the transmission factor, refractive index, reflection factor, degree of deflection and coherency of light in the optical system according to the modulating signal .
  • 4. Why Do we use an Optical Modulator • Directly modulating the laser causes frequency chirp,pulse spreading in optical fibers, and loss of information. • We may also use an optical modulator when we cannot easily or rapidly vary the output of a laser.
  • 5. How Does It Work?
  • 6. Modulation Techniques •Direct modulation of laser diode •Vary the current supply to the laser diode •Directly modulates the output power of the laser •Output frequency drifts •carrier induced (chirp) •temperature variation due to carrier modulation •Limited modulation depth (don’t want to turn off laser)
  • 7. Direct Modulation • The message signal (ac) is superimposed on the bias current (dc) which modulates the laser • Robust and simple, hence widely used • Issues: laser resonance frequency, chirp, turn on delay, clipping and laser nonlinearity
  • 8. External modulation • Change the transmission characteristics • Change the power of a continuous wave laser • Electro-optical modulation (low efficiency) • Electroabsorption (EA) modulation (smaller modulation bandwidth).
  • 9. External Optical Modulation • Modulation and light generation are separated • Offers much wider bandwidth  up to 60 GHz • More expensive and complex • Used in high end systems
  • 10. Types of Optical Modulators
  • 11. Electroabsorption (EA) Modulator EA modulator is a semiconductor device which can be used for controlling the intensity of a laser beam via an electric voltage.Principle of operation is based on Franz-Keldysh effect i.e. a change in the absorption spectrum caused by an applied electric field,which changes the band gap energy.
  • 12. Schematics of an EA modulator
  • 13. Advantages of EA modulators • Zero biasing voltage • Low driving voltage • Low/negative chirp • high bandwidth
  • 14. Electro Optic Modulator • An electro-optic modulator is a device which can be used for controlling the power, phase or polarization of a laser beam with an electrical control signal. It typically contains one or two Pockels cells, and possibly additional optical elements such as polarizers. Different types of Pockels cells are shown in Figure 1. The principle of operation is based on the linear electro-optic effect (also called the Pockels effect), i.e., the modification of the refractive index of a nonlinear crystal by an electric field in proportion to the field strength.
  • 15.  Pockels Effect: In many materials the s term is negligible (E) r E r: Pockels coefficient 1 3 n( E ) n 2 r nE Typical value of r 10-12-10-10 m/V (1-100 pm/V); For E=106 V/m => rn3E/2 ~10-6-10-4 (very small). Most common crystals used as Pockels cells: NH4H2PO4 (ADP), KH2PO4 (KDP), LiNbO3, LiTaO3.  Kerr Effect: If the materials is centrosymmetric, as is the case gases, liquid, and certain crystals, n(E) must be a even function => r = 0 (E) s E2 s: Kerr coefficient n( E ) n 1 2 s n3E 2
  • 16. Types of Electro-optic Modulators • Phase Modulators The simplest type of electro-optic modulator is a phase modulator containing only a Pockels cell, where an electric field (applied to the crystal via electrodes) changes the phase delay of a laser beam sent through the crystal.The polarization of the input beam often has to be aligned with one of the optical axes of the crystal, so that the polarization state is not changed.
  • 17. Polarization Modulators • Depending on the type and orientation of the nonlinear crystal, and on the direction of the applied electric field, the phase delay can depend on the polarization direction. A Pockels cell can thus be seen as a voltage-controlled waveplate.
  • 18. Amplitude Modulators • Combined with other optical elements, in particular with polarizers, Pockels cells can be used for other kinds of modulation. In particular, an amplitude modulator is based on a Pockels cell for modifying the polarization state and a polarizer for subsequently converting this into a change in transmitted optical amplitude and power.
  • 19. AOM = acousto optic modulator Refractive index AOM crystal/glass Sound absorber variations due to (suppress reflections) Aperture sound waves Deflected beam Input laser beam l v Undeflected beam Sound transducer ex: LiNbO3 RF signal ~ 1 Watt 40 MHz
  • 20. AOM = acousto optic modulator • AOM = acousto optic modulator (or deflector) • RF signal converted to sound waves in crystal – Use fast piezo-electric transducer like Li NbO3 • Sound waves are collimated to form grating • Bragg scatter from grating gives deflected beam – can separate from original • Problem with AOM -- weak link • Sound takes time to travel from transducer to laser beam – Time delay: tD = l / v -- acts like multi-pole rolloff – (phase shift increases with frequency)
  • 21. AOM Contd.. The acoustic wave may be absorbed at the other end of the crystal. Such a traveling-wave geometry makes it possible to achieve a broad modulation bandwidth of many megahertz. Other devices are resonant for the sound wave, exploiting the strong reflection of the acoustic wave at the other end of the crystal. The resonant enhancement can greatly increase the modulation strength (or decrease the required acoustic power), but reduces the modulation bandwidth .
  • 22. AOM Contd.. • Common materials for acousto-optic devices are tellurium dioxide (TeO2), crystalline quartz, and fused silica. There are manifold criteria for the choice of the material, including the elasto-optic coefficients, the transparency range, the optical damage threshold, and required size. One may also use different kinds of acoustic waves. Most common is the use of longitudinal (compression) waves. These lead to the highest diffraction efficiencies, which however depend on the polarization of the optical beam. Polarization- independent operation is obtained when using acoustic shear waves (with the acoustic movement in the direction of the laser beam), which however make the diffraction less efficient.
  • 23. What is Mach-Zender optical modulator? •Optical modulators based on the external modulation principles include a Mach-Zehnder interferometric optical modulator (MZ, or MZI). •First silicon-based modulator with frequency > 1GHz! •Attractive from cost point of view •Advanced electronics on silicon (widely used bipolar and CMOS technology) •Needed to encode data on a continuous wave of light output by a laser, for use in an optical communication link
  • 24. The Mach-Zender modulator – how does it work? Novel phase-shifter Design embedded in a passive silicon waveguide Mach- Zender interferometer. Optical modulators based on the external modulation principles include a Mach-Zehnder interferometric optical modulator .
  • 25. Contd…. • A Mach-Zehnder interferometer optical modulator utilizes a mechanism such that when light propagated through a waveguide is branched in two directions and a modulation signal current is flowed through the center of each branch, there occur magnetic fields of opposite phases with respect to grounds provided on opposite sides in a sandwiching relation to the waveguides, so that the phases of light signals propagated through the respective routes become opposite to each other and the phase lead and lag are offset each other when both lights are later combined together.
  • 26. MOS Capacitor Embedded Mach Zender Interferometer
  • 27. MOS Capacitor Embedded Mach Zender Interferometer • Voltage induced charge density depends on the permittivity of the oxide, electron charge, gate oxide thickness, effective charge layer thickness, and the flat band voltage. • The change in refractive index depends on the wavelength, the effective index change in wavelength, and the length of the phase shifter.
  • 28. Why is it so efficient? Because charge transport in the MOS capacitor is governed by the majority carriers, thus device bandwidth is not limited by the relatively slow carrier recombination process of pin diode Devices.
  • 29. Challenges and Hurdles • On-chip loss: 6.7dB loss due to doped polysilicon phaseshifter and undoped polysilicon waveguide -> use single crystal silicon or increase the phase modulation efficiency (reduce active waveguide length) • Limited frequency response
  • 30. Applications and Commercial products • Electro-optic modulator Phase Modulator is a high performance, low drive voltage External Optical Modulator designed for customers developing next generation transmission systems. The increased bandwidth allows for chirp control in high-speed data communication.
  • 31. Contd….. • modulating the power of a laser beam, e.g. for laser printing, high-speed digital data recording, or high-speed optical communications • in laser frequency stabilization schemes, e.g. with the Pound–Drever–Hall method • Q switching of solid-state lasers (where the EOM serves to block the laser resonator before the pulse is to be emitted)
  • 32. Contd…… • active mode locking (where the EOM modulates the resonator losses or the optical phase with the round-trip frequency or a multiple thereof). • switching pulses in pulse pickers, regenerative amplifiers and cavity-dumped lasers.
  • 33. Applications Of AOM • They are used for Q switching of solid-state lasers. The AOM, called Q switch, then serves to block the laser resonator before the pulse is generated. In most cases, the zero-order (undiffracted beam) is used under lasing conditions, and the AOM is turned on when lasing should be prohibited. This requires that the caused diffraction losses (possibly for two passes per resonator round trip) are higher than the laser gain. For high-gain lasers (for example, fiber lasers), one sometimes uses the first-order diffracted beam under lasing conditions, so that very high resonator losses result when the AOM is turned off. However, the losses in the lasing state are then also fairly high.
  • 34. Contd…… • AOMs can also be used for cavity dumping of solid-state lasers, generating either nanosecond or ultrashort pulses. In the latter case, the speed of an AOM is sufficient only in the case of a relatively long laser resonator; an electro-optic modulator may otherwise be required.
  • 35. Contd… • Active mode locking is often performed with an AOM for modulating the resonator losses at the round-trip frequency or a multiple thereof. • An AOM can be used as a pulse picker for reducing the pulse repetition rate of a pulse train, e.g. in order to allow for subsequent amplification of pulses to high pulse energies.
  • 36. Contd…. • In laser printers and other devices, an AOM can be used for modulating the power of a laser beam. The modulation may be continuous or digital (on/off). • An AOM can shift the frequency of a laser beam, e.g. in various measurement schemes, or in lasers which are mode-locked via frequency-shifted optical feedback. • In some cases one exploits the effect that the diffraction angle depends on the acoustic frequency. In particular, one can scan the output beam direction (at least in a small range) by changing the modulation frequency.
