摘要：

A low drive voltage of similar to 5 V at 40 GHz has been achieved in a fully packaged, broad-band LiNbO3 modulator. The excellent response is attributed to nearly perfect velocity and impedance matching, along with very long electrodes (41 mm), low electrode losses, and minimal packaging effects. Very accurate frequency-dependent drive voltages are obtained by the use of independent sets of measurements.
