Abstract: A component, device and improved electro-optical modulation system for increasing compactness, favouring 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.

Abstract: In an optical modulator according to the invention, with respect to two MZ type optical modulators connected to each other in tandem by a curved folded waveguide on an identical substrate, a longitudinal direction of an MZ type optical waveguide unit on an optical input port side is obliquely arranged to a longitudinal direction of an MZ type optical waveguide unit on an optical output port side, and a curvature radius of the curved folded waveguide is made larger than a half of an interval between the optical input/output ports to decrease a length of a feeder portion of a signal electrode corresponding to the MZ type optical waveguide unit on the input side. Therefore, a loss of an electric signal propagated through the signal electrode can be reduced.

Abstract: Traveling-wave optoelectronic wavelength conversion is provided by a monolithic optoelectronic integrated circuit that includes an interconnected traveling-wave photodetector and traveling-wave optical modulator with a widely tunable laser source. Either parallel and series connections between the photodetector and modulator may be used. An input signal modulated onto a first optical wavelength develops a traveling wave voltage on transmission line electrodes of the traveling-wave photodetector, and this voltage is coupled via an interconnecting transmission line of the same characteristic impedance to transmission line electrodes of the traveling-wave optical modulator to modulate the signal onto a second optical wavelength derived from the tunable laser. The traveling wave voltage is terminated in a load resistor having the same characteristic impedance as the photodetector and modulator transmission lines. However, the interconnecting transmission lines and the load resistor may have different impedances than the photodetector and modulator.
