    摘要: An electro-optic device includes a semiconducting layer in which is formed a waveguide, a modulator formed across the waveguide comprising a p-doped region to one side and an n-doped region to the other side of the waveguide, wherein at least one of the doped regions extends from the base of a recess formed in the semiconducting layer. In this way, the doped regions can extend further into the semiconducting layer and further hinder escape of charge carriers without the need to increase the diffusion distance of the dopant and incur an additional thermal burden on the device. In an SOI device, the doped region can extend to the insulating layer. Ideally, both the p and n-doped regions extend from the base of a recess, but this may be unnecessary in some designs. Insulating layers can be used to ensure that dopant extends from the base of the recess only, giving a more clearly defined doped region. The (or each) recess can have non-vertical sides, such as are formed by v-groove etches, A combination of a vertical sidewall at the base of the recess and a non-vertical sidewall at the opening could be used.

    摘要: Apparatus connecting electrical circuit boards (1, 2, 3, . . . N) so each board can communicate with each other. Each board has an optical circuit, which in turn has a transmitter module (T) and a receiver module (R). The transmitter module (T) has electrical to optical converters (11B) for converting electrical signals into optical signals, a wavelength multiplexer (12) for multiplexing the optical signals into a single optical waveguide (12A), and an optical splitter (13) for dividing the multiplexed signal into a plurality of identical signals for transmission to each of the receiver modules (R). The receiver module (R) has an optical selector (14) for selecting signals from the transmission modules (T), a wavelength demultiplexer (21) for demultiplexing the selected signal into signals each of a different wavelength (&lgr;1 . . . &lgr;n), and optical to electrical converters (22B) for converting each of the signals of different wavelengths into an electrical signal.

    摘要: A doped slab region is described for use around a ridge waveguide, for controlling the refractive index of the waveguide material. Instead of simply diffusing dopant in from a surface of the slab region adjacent the waveguide, an area of the slab region is etched and dopant diffused in from a side face of the etched region. Thus, the dopant profile is established from a horizontal direction, allowing the profile to be controlled. A simple vertically uniform doping profile can thus be provided, leading to a vertically uniform current density, or an anisotropic wet etch can be applied after the initial etch to provide a profile which concentrates the current density at a selected height in the slab region.
