In this SBIR effort, COVEGA Corp. will design and demonstrate a more efficient technology to address challenges associated with bias voltage control of lithium niobate (LN) based modulators using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) design. We herein present a solution for elimination of conventional feedback-loop-based bias control, providing three critical advantages for analog RF photonics
