摘要：
A polarization-independent electro- optical modulator based on thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) is proposed; it is based on a polarization-independent beam splitter and a mode converter. The polarization-independent beam splitter achieves precise beam splitting of TE0 and TM0 modes, whereas the mode converter efficiently converts the input TM0 mode to TE1 mode. Accordingly, the traveling- wave electrode structure loaded with periodic capacitors achieves efficient electro- optical modulation of two light modes. The simulation results show that the electro-optical bandwidth of the modulator is greater than 100 GHz. This helps solve the instability problem caused by polarization sensitivity in existing electro- optical modulators and opens up new research lines for TFLN-based modulators.
