摘要：

A broadband, electrically controlled polarization-independent intensity modulator (PIM) based on a Sagnac interferometer is presented. Influences from asymmetric modulation and traveling wave effects are analyzed and methods to eliminate these effects are proposed, Compared to Mach-Zehnder interferometer-based modulators, this modulator is independent of the input polarization state and less sensitive to ambient perturbations due to its reciprocity property, A prototype modulator operating at 1 and 2.488 Gb/s modulation rates is demonstrated.
