摘要： A component, device and improved electro-optical modulation system for increasing compactness, favoring the adaptation of optical and electrical waves, and a method of fabrication. Such a component exhibits a waveguide architecture devised so that the length of the path followed by the luminous flux exhibits, with the length of the path traversed by the electrical control signal, a determined difference for decreasing or compensating for the difference in the speeds of propagation of the luminous flux and of the electrical signal. In particular, the modulation zone includes a path of the luminous flux winding around itself and successively crossing at least two indentations emanating from at least two of these control elements. It thus exhibits a length greater than that traversed by the electrical signal, for example between a first and a second region of interaction between this control signal and this luminous flux.

摘要： A Mach-Zehnder optical modulator with a travelling wave electrode has a signal transmission line conductor (S) carrying an input electrical signal, and two ground transmission line conductors (G1 and G2) providing a return path for the electrical signal. The signal transmission line conductor is positioned between the first and second ground lines, and the first and second optical waveguide branches are positioned between the signal transmission line conductor and the first ground line. The modulator therefore has a GSG structure providing an asymmetrically-loaded configuration.

摘要： In an optical modulator, respective lights for where one input light has been branched, are input via a curved waveguide to a plurality of optical modulation sections arranged in parallel on the same substrate. In a Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguide, a spacing between the pair of branching waveguides of the adjacent optical modulation sections, is formed so as to become wider in the vicinity of a border of an input side polarization inversion region than in the vicinity of a start point of an interaction portion. As a result, even if a signal electrode of the optical modulation sections shifts at the boundary portion of the polarization inversion region, the spacing between the signal electrodes does not become narrow, and hence the radius of curvature of curved waveguides for guiding the input light to the respective optical modulation sections can be increased, so that it becomes possible to apply input light to the optical modulation sections at low loss.

摘要： Provided is an optical waveguide element module which suppresses reflection of a modulation signal and attenuation of a modulation signal, even when an impedance of a modulation electrode of an optical waveguide element and an impedance of a transmission line for inputting the modulation signal from the external of the optical waveguide element are different from each other. The optical waveguide clement module is provided with an optical waveguide element, which has a substrate (1) composed of a material having electro-optical effects, an optical waveguide (2) formed on the substrate, and a modulation electrode (3) which modules optical waves propagating in the optical waveguide; a connector (8), wherein an external signal line which inputs the modulation signal to the modulation electrode is connected to the modulation electrode; and a relay line which connects the connector and the modulation electrode and is formed on a relay substrate (7). Impedance of the relay line changes stepwise or continuously, and reflection of the modulation signal in the optical waveguide element module is suppressed.

摘要： A frequency-conversion method that uses a nonlinear optical process to transfer energy between a surface-plasmon (SP) wave that is guided along an electrically conducting strip and a light beam that is guided along an optical waveguide whose core is adjacent to the electrically conducting strip. A periodic structure spatially modulates the nonlinear susceptibility of the waveguide core with a spatial period that is related to a momentum mismatch in the nonlinear optical process. The spatial modulation provides quasi-phase matching for the SP wave and the light beam and enables efficient energy transfer between them.
