    Abstract: The or each strained quantum well layer of a quantum confined Stark effect modulator is provided with a substructure of substructure layers not all having the same lattice constant. The thickness and composition of these substructure layers may be arranged to produce a differential strain that is asymmetric with respect to the mid-plane of the quantum well and so skews the hole wavefunctions for heavy-holes, HH1, and light-holes, LH1, in opposite directions. This enables the choice of composition designed to provide substantial matching of the E1-HH1 and E1-LH1 Stark shifts for one particular polarity of applied field, thereby providing a modulation facility that is substantially polarisation insensitive. Alternatively, the thickness and composition of the layers may be chosen to produce a symmetrical strain profile in which the same effect is provided, but for both polarities of applied field.

    Abstract: The refractive index of the at least one photonic structure having two separate photonic bands is modulated, so that light supplied to the at least one photonic structure and initially in one of the two photonic bands of the traveling along a forward direction in the at least one photonic structure is converted to light in a second one of the photonic bands, and light in the one photonic band traveling along a backward direction opposite to the forward direction in the at least one photonic structure is not converted and remains in the one photonic band, achieving non-reciprocity.
