摘要: An integrated electro-optic module may contain a continuous layer of electro-optic polymer through both a splitter portion and a modulator portion in order to facilitate high speed data transmission. The integrated electro-optic module may be fabricated by depositing a bottom cladding layer on a wafer, creating side cladding features, depositing the electro-optic polymer, and coating with a top cladding layer. The electro-optic polymer in both the splitter portion and modulator portion of the integrated electro-optic module may create inverted-ridge waveguide structures. The waveguide in the splitter portion may have a first ridge depth, and the waveguide in the modulator portion may have a second ridge depth, the first ridge depth greater than the second ridge depth.

摘要: A method for creating an integrated linear polarizer is provided. An electro-optical component is fabricated and may include a bottom electrode, a bottom cladding layer, side cladding features, an electro-optic polymer layer, a top cladding layer, and a top electrode. After fabrication, the electro-optical component is poled to create or enhance polarization properties of the electro-optic polymer layer. The electro-optical component may be heated to at least a first threshold temperature. An electric field may then be applied to the electro-optical component. In the presence of the electric field, the electro-optical component may be cooled to at or below a second threshold temperature that is less than the first threshold temperature. Once the electro-optical component has cooled to the second threshold temperature, the electric field may be removed.

摘要: An optical modulator includes an input waveguide, a splitting point, a first interaction arm of length L1, a second interaction arm of length L2 that is unequal in length to the first interaction arm, a recombination point, and an output waveguide. The splitting point receives an incoming continuous wave light beam comprising two or more wavelengths of light from the input waveguide and splits it into a first light beam and a second light beam. The first interaction arm is coupled to the input waveguide and transports the first light beam. The second interaction arm is coupled to the input waveguide and transports the second light beam. The output waveguide is coupled to the first interaction arm and second interaction arm at the recombination point and combines the first light beam and second light beam into an output modulated light beam. The first interaction arm and the second interaction arm comprise an electro-optic material with a refractive index that changes according to a modulation stimulus. The electro-optic material has a first refractive index n1 before the modulation stimulus is applied, and a second refractive index n2 after the modulation stimulus is applied.
