Abstract: An optical device, such as an electro-absorption modulator, has a waveguide formed onto a base. Electrodes adjacent the waveguide are used to selectively apply an electric field to the device in order to control the passage of light through the device. To prevent overheating of the device in a region near the point of optical entry, the electrode, which acts as a thermal conduit to dissipate heat from the waveguide is extended over the region. To prevent undesirable electrical contact between the electrode and the region, the normally electrically conducting contact layer between the electrode and the waveguide is removed in that region and replaced by an isolation dielectric.

Abstract: An electro-optic modulator having a continuously adjustable chirp is provided. Optical signals input into the electro-optic modulator are divided into portions which are phase modulated in opposite senses, one portion imparted with a positive chirp and the other with a negative chirp. Variable couplers are used to adjust (by way of adjusting their coupling ratios) the amount of power allocated between the optical signals contributing to the positive chirp and the power of signals contributing to the negative chirp so that when the optical signals are combined an optical signal with an adjustable chirp is produced.
