ABSTRACT:
A broadband optical modulator having a light waveguide and modulating electrodes incorporated into an output or drain transmission line of a distributed amplifier driver. The modulator has a distributed gain mechanism which overcomes the electrical losses in the modulating electrodes and provides broadband velocity matching between the driving electrical signal and the modulated lightwave signal.
