Abstract

Theoretical calculations of the modulation depth of the modes in integrated optic devices are reported and are applied to the design of a polarisation-insensitive modulator with a novel electrode arrangement. This achieves a high degree of polarisation insensitivity without requiring large modulation voltages or unrealistic alignment tolerances.
