Abstract:
An optical waveguide device including an electro-optical crystal substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface; an optical waveguide path formed within a surface of the electro-optical crystal substrate; at least one electrode positioned above the optical waveguide path for applying an electric field to the optical waveguide path; and a silicon titanium oxynitride layer and a connecting layer for interconnecting the silicon titanium oxynitride layer to another surface of the electro-optical crystal substrate that is opposite to the surface in which the optical waveguide path is formed.
Abstract:
A Mach-Zehnder Interferometer having a waveguide including an input portion for receiving an optical signal and having a first channel width, a first splitter for separating the optical signal into at least first and second paths, a first arm for the first path and having a second channel width that supports a single transverse optical mode, a second arm for the second path and having a third channel width that supports a single transverse optical mode, a second splitter portion for combining optical signals of the at least first and second paths, an output portion for transmitting a resultant combination of optical signals from the second splitter and having a fourth channel width, and wherein the second channel width is larger than the fourth channel width.
Abstract:
An optical modulator includes a substrate having an electrooptic effect, an optical waveguide having first and second cascading portions in the substrate, and transmitting an optical field, a first coplanar strip electrode having a first part over the first cascading portion and second and third parts extending beyond the first cascading portion, wherein the first part is approximately perpendicular to the second and third parts and has a width substantially the same as the first cascading portion, a second coplanar strip electrode having a first part over the second cascading portion and second and third parts to extend beyond the second cascading portion, and the first part being approximately perpendicular to the second and third parts, and a voltage source supplying a voltage to the first coplanar strip electrode, wherein the second coplanar strip electrode is grounded and is symmetrical to the first coplanar strip electrode.
