Abstract
The DC-bias-induced drift phenomenon in LiNbO/sub 3/ optical intensity modulators is a main cause of device wearout failure. In order to estimate the device lifetime, an activation energy value Ea of the drift is needed, and Ea=1.0 eV is already known for z-cut LiNbO/sub 3/ modulators. However, Ea of x-cut LiNbO/sub 3/ modulators is not known even though there is a possibility that the Ea depends ...
