An new design of ultra-compact Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) with five parallel coupled waveguides power divider and combiner has been proposed for lithium niobate photonic wire platform. The major characteristics of MZM has been analyzed in comparison with conventional structure of MZM by using beam propagation method.
