Summary :

We have proposed and developed new electro-optic modulators for the pre-equalization of signal distortion caused by the optical fiber chromatic dispersion effect. We found that the synthesis of an almost arbitrary impulse response function is obtainable by utilizing an electro-optic modulator composed of a Mach-Zehnder waveguide and travelling-wave electrodes on a ferro-electric material substrate with polarization-reversed structures. In this paper, the operational principle, design and simulation results of the pre-equalization modulator are presented. Some preliminary experimental results are also shown with future prospects.
