The characteristics of a LiNbO3 light modulafor using the resonant YBa2Cu3Oy superconducting electrode were studied on the basis of the calculated results of surface resistances and transmission losses. The two-fluid model and the conventional transmission theory were used for the calculations. It was found that the modulation depth of this modulator using the YBCO electrode at 77 K was 7.5 times that using the Al electrode at room temperature. The drive voltage for the phase modulation of π radians was estimated to be a very low value of 2.3 V.
