A new n‐i‐p‐n heterostructure InP(100) optical modulator is proposed. By utilising the crystallographic orientation dependence of the electro‐optic Pockels effect and electric field direction, the device, which is formed along the [011] waveguide stripe direction, has a lower half‐wave voltage than one formed along the [01̄1] direction. The half‐wave voltage of a [01̄1] direction phase modulator was 4.8 V, whereas that of the [011] direction was 2.9 V.
