    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for modulating a beam of radiation, such that the modulated beam exhibits substantially null residual amplitude modulation (RAM). An electro-optical modulator is presented that includes a waveguide, a first region associated with the waveguide and a second region associated with the waveguide. The waveguide is designed to guide a beam of radiation. A first electric potential applied to the first region causes a first modulation to the beam of radiation while a second electric potential applied to the second region causes a second modulation to the beam of radiation. The first modulation combined with the second modulation provides substantially null residual amplitude modulation of the beam of radiation.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an optical delay element that makes use of a line-defect waveguide of a photonic crystal, in which long optical delay time and small group speed dispersion are rendered compatible with each other and in which waveform distortion that might otherwise be produced in processing an ultra-high speed signal is eliminated. Two line-defect waveguides 5 and 11, having different pillar diameters and group velocity dispersions of opposite signs, are interconnected by a line-defect waveguide 8, the pillar diameters of which are gradually varied from one 5 of the line-defect waveguides to the other line-defect waveguide 11, such as to compensate for group speed dispersion as well as to maintain an optical delay effect.

    Abstract: A coplanar waveguide includes a substrate, a signal line formed on the substrate, a pair of ground conductors formed on the substrate on mutually opposite sides of the signal line, a signal line insulating film disposed between the signal line and the substrate, and a ground conductor insulating film disposed between the pair of ground conductors and the substrate. No corresponding insulating film is present on the substrate between the signal line and the ground conductors. Even if a silicon substrate is used, the attenuation characteristics of the coplanar waveguide are comparable to the attenuation characteristics of coplanar waveguides formed on compound semiconductor substrates.

    Abstract: Methods of attenuating, delaying the phase, and otherwise controlling an optical signal propagating along a waveguide are provided. According to one method, a variable optical attenuator structure is provided comprising a waveguide core, a cladding, an electrooptic polymer, and a set of control electrodes. The core, the cladding, and the electrooptic polymer are configured such that an increase in the index of refraction of the polymer causes a substantial portion of an optical signal propagating along the waveguide core to couple into a relatively high index region of the electrooptic polymer above the waveguide core, so as to inhibit return of the coupled signal to the waveguide core. Another embodiment of the present invention introduces a phase delay in the coupled optical signal and permits return of the coupled signal to the waveguide core. An additional embodiment contemplates the use of a ridge waveguide structure to enable control of the optical signal. Additional embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
