Abstract
An optical microfiber phase modulator (OMPM) directly driven with low-power light is presented. Phase modulation response of OMPM is theoretically analyzed. A 10-mm optical microfiber (OM), tapered from conventional single-mode fiber, is inserted in one arm of a Michelson fiber interferometer. To drive the OMPM, 980-nm wavelength light with sinusoidal intensity modulation is injected into the interferometer. The OMPM response properties are measured and p-phase modulation amplitude can be obtained with only 7.5-mW average power light at 1-kHz modulation frequency. The OMPMs shown in this study have advantages of simple structure, potential compact size, and low-power-driven light.
