Abstract

See full text

A circuit that may include a circuit network and a transmission line coupled to the circuit network. The circuit network may include an electro-optic modulator and various inductors. The electro-optic modulator may be a capacitive load having a predetermined capacitance. The circuit may further include a resistor coupled to the circuit network. The resistor may have a resistance value configured to produce a first impedance with the circuit network. The first impedance may be configured to match substantially with a second impedance in the transmission line. The circuit may further include an electric driver couple to the transmission line. The electric driver may be configured for transmitting a driving voltage to the electro-optic modulator. The driving voltage may be configured to generate a predetermined voltage swing across the electro-optic modulator.
