    In present literature on integrated modulation and filtering, limitations in the extinction ratio are dominantly attributed to a combination of imbalance in interfering wave amplitude, instability of control signals, stray light (e.g., in the cladding), or amplified spontaneous emission from optical amplifiers. Here we show that the existence of optical frequency noise in single longitudinal mode lasers presents an additional limit to the extinction ratio of optical modulators. A simple frequency-domain model is used to describe a linear optical system’s response in the presence of frequency noise, and an intuitive picture is given for systems with arbitrary sampling time. Understanding the influence of frequency noise will help guide the design choices of device and system engineers and offer a path toward even higher-extinction optical modulators.
