Abstract
An electro-optical modulator is provided. The electro-optical modulator comprises at least one optical waveguide; a plurality of segments, wherein each one of the segments comprises at least one waveguide electrode for supplying a voltage to the optical waveguide, wherein the segments are arranged one behind the other along the optical waveguide, and wherein each one of the segments comprises its own driver unit electrically connected to the waveguide electrode of the segment for supplying an electric signal. Each one of the segments forms an electrical resonant circuit, wherein the segments are configured in such a way that the resonance frequency of the electrical resonant circuit of at least one of the segments lies within the frequency range of an electrical signal supplied to the driver units.
