Abstract
An electro-optic modulator includes a substrate, a Y-shaped waveguide, a pair of first electrodes, and a pair of second electrodes. The substrate includes a top surface. The Y-shaped waveguide is embedded into the top surface, and includes a first branch and a second branch. The first branch is subjected to a transverse electric wave and the second branch is subjected to a transverse magnetic wave. The pair of first electrodes are positioned on the top surface and arranged at two sides of the first branch. The pair of second electrodes are positioned on the top surface. One of the second electrodes covers the second branch, and the other is arranged at a side of the second branch.
