    Abstract: Methods and systems for a silicon-based optical phase modulator with high modal overlap are disclosed and may include, in an optical modulator having a rib waveguide in which a cross-shaped depletion region separates four alternately doped sections: receiving an optical signal at one end of the optical modulator, modulating the received optical signal by applying a modulating voltage, and communicating a modulated optical signal out of an opposite end of the modulator. The modulator may be in a silicon photonically-enabled integrated circuit which may be in a complementary-metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) die. An optical mode may be centered on the cross-shaped depletion region. The four alternately doped sections may include: a shallow depth p-region, a shallow depth n-region, a deep p-region, and a deep n-region. The shallow depth p-region may be electrically coupled to the deep p-region periodically along the length of the modulator.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for stabilized directional couplers are disclosed and may include a system comprising first and second directional couplers formed by first and second waveguides, where one of the waveguides may comprise a length extender between the directional couplers. The directional couplers may be formed by reduced spacing between the waveguides on opposite sides of the length extender. An input optical signal may be communicated into one of the waveguides, where at least a portion of the input optical signal may be coupled between the waveguides in the first directional coupler and at least a portion of the coupled optical signal may be coupled between the waveguides in the second directional coupler. Optical signals may be communicated out of the system with magnitudes at a desired percentage of the input optical signal. The length extender may add phase delay for signals in one of the first and second waveguides.
