[16p-A305-4] Reduction of DC drift in a (Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3 optical modulator
Keywords:PLZT, DC drift
We clarify the mechanism of (Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3 (PLZT) optical modulators due to DC drift. We also report on the reduction of the drift using the thermo-optic effect, which in principle avoids the DC drift.
