Abstract: A downsized, low-power electro-optical modulator that achieves reducing both of the additional resistance in the modulation portion and the optical loss each caused by electrodes at the same time is provided. The electro-optical modulator includes a rib waveguide formed by stacking a second semiconductor layer 9 having a different conductivity type from a first semiconductor layer 8 on the first semiconductor layer 8 via a dielectric film 11, and the semiconductor layers 8 and 9 are connectable to an external terminal via highly-doped portions 4 and 10, respectively. In a region in the vicinity of contact surfaces of the semiconductor layers 8 and 9 with the dielectric film 11, a free carrier is accumulated, removed, or inverted by an electrical signal from the external terminal, and whereby a concentration of the free carrier in an electric field region of an optical signal is modulated, so that a phase of the optical signal can be modulated. At least one of the semiconductor layers 8 and 9 is wider than the stacked portion. At least one of the highly-doped portions 4 and 10 is formed outside the stacked portion.

Abstract: A hybrid strip-loaded EO polymer/sol-gel modulator in which the sol-gel core waveguide does not lie below the active EO polymer waveguide increases the higher electric field/optical field overlap factor Γ and reduces inter-electrode separation d thereby lowering the modulator's half-wave drive voltage Vπ, reducing insertion loss and improving extinction. The strip-loaded modulator comprises an EO polymer layer that eliminates optical scattering caused by sidewall roughness due to etching. Light does not encounter rough edges as it transitions to and from the sol-gel and EO polymer waveguides. This reduces insertion loss.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wafer scale process for the manufacture of optical waveguide devices, and particularly for the manufacture of ridge waveguide devices, and the improved waveguides made thereby. The present invention has found a process for achieving sub-micron control of an optical waveguiding layer thickness by providing a dimensionally stable wafer assembly into which adhesive can be introduced without altering the planar relationship between a carrier wafer and an optically transmissive wafer in wafer scale manufacture. This process permits wafer scale manufacture of optical waveguide devices including thin optically transmissive layers. A pattern of spacer pedestals is created by a deposition and etch back, or by a surface etch process to precisely reference surface information from a master surface to a carrier wafer to a thin optically transmissive wafer. The tolerance achievable in accordance with this process provides consistent yield across the wafer.
