California Boulevard, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA 3 HyperLight Corporation, 501 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, USA dizhu@g. Electro-optic modulators (EOMs) are pivotal in bridging electrical and optical domains, essential for diverse applications including optical communication, microwave signal processing, sensing, and quantum technologies. Photonics on thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) has emerged as one of the most pursued disciplines within integrated optics. The RF induced capacitive electric fields (E-fields) are calculated in CHARGE taking advantage of the anisotropic DC dielectric permittivity feature introduced in 2023 R1.
