    Abstract: An acousto-optical device includes a light waveguide path formed on an acousto-optical substrate, a transducer which crosses the light waveguide path and propagates a surface acoustic wave along the light waveguide path, and a buffer layer provided so that finger electrodes of the transducer are spaced apart from the light waveguide path in crossing portions in which the finger electrodes cross the light waveguide path. The finger electrodes have other portions which directly contact the substrate.

    Abstract: This is an electro-optic modulator having an electro-optic substrate such as lithium niobate, an optical waveguide defined within the substrate, an electrode structure including a microwave transmission line elevated from the substrate by conductive legs. In one embodiment, a low-dielectric constant buffer layer is disposed between the substrate and the transmission line. The conductive legs extend from the transmission line to a surface of the substrate toward the waveguide, through the buffer layer. The microwave transmission line is elevated from the substrate at a distance such that the electrical propagation velocity is at a maximum. The high electrical velocity is offset by a loading capacitance introduced by the conductive legs which slows the electrical velocity down on the transmission line to match the optical velocity. Pairs of opposing conductive legs provide a strong electric field for modulating the optical signal.

    Abstract: In an optical waveguide device which is typically for use as a waveguide modulator or switch and comprises a substrate exhibiting an electrooptic effect, an input and an output waveguide, first and second phase shift waveguides, a dielectric buffer layer on the substrate and the input, the output, and the phase shift waveguides, and a signal electrode and a ground electrode on the buffer layer to overlie on the phase shift electrodes and which may further comprise an additional ground electrode to form a CPW structure rather than an ASL or an ACPS structure, the buffer layer has a thickness which decreases continuously or stepwise from an outer edge to an inner edge of each of the first and the second waveguides. Preferably, a ratio of a thin thickness at the inner edges to a predetermined thickness at the outer edges and outwardly thereof is between 0.25 to 0.9. Another ratio of a width of the signal electrode to a gap between the signal electrode and the ground electrode on the second waveguide is between 1 and 0.1.
