摘要
Broadband, polarisation-independent intensity modulation-based on a lithium niobate phase modulator in a fibre Sagnac interferometer configuration is demonstrated. Residual polarisation dependence is found to be as low as < 0.25dB for low frequency operation, and < 2dB to frequencies of > 20GHz.
