摘要： Consistent with the present disclosure, MZ drive signal electrodes may be provided relatively close to and parallel to one another, such that the underlying waveguide arms may also be provided close to and parallel to one another. As a result, common mode performance of an MZ modulator may be obtained. In one example, an electrode wiring configuration consistent with the present disclosure may permit a waveguide arm separation of 40 microns or less.

摘要： Consistent with the present disclosure, both arms of an MZ interferometer are “double-folded” and are bent in at least two locations to define first and second acute inner angles. Accordingly, the arms of the MZ interferometer may have substantially the same length, and, further, the MZ interferometer has a more compact geometry. In one example, the arms parallel each other and have a serpentine shape, and, in a further embodiment, the arms parallel one another and have a Z-shape. Accordingly, since the temperature of a PIC upon which the MZ interferometer is provided does not vary significantly over such short distances, the temperatures of both arms is substantially the same.

摘要翻译： 与本公开一致，MZ干涉仪的两个臂是“双折叠”的，并且在至少两个位置弯曲以限定第一和第二锐角内角。 因此，MZ干涉仪的臂可以具有基本上相同的长度，此外，MZ干涉仪具有更紧凑的几何形状。 在一个示例中，臂彼此平行并具有蛇形形状，并且在另一实施例中，臂彼此平行并具有Z形。 因此，由于提供MZ干涉仪的PIC的温度在这么短的距离上没有显着变化，所以两个臂的温度基本相同。

摘要： A modulator is disclosed that includes three arms between a splitter portion and a coupler portion. The modulator typically requires at most a π/2 phase shift between constellation points. Accordingly, the modulator is more efficient and consumes less power.

摘要： Consistent with the present disclosure, the number of passive waveguides in a PIC are reduced by directly connecting active components to one another. Accordingly, optical signals propagating in the PIC may experience less loss, and, thus, improved performance may be achieved. In addition, active components may be bent or curved in order to obtain a more compact layout with greater device density. Reduced manufacturing costs can therefore be realized.

摘要： A method provides acceptable performance from a semiconductor transmitter photonic integrated circuit (TxPIC) that contains a plurality of modulated sources each comprising a laser source and an external modulator where each laser source provides a different emission wavelength and each modulated source forms a separate signal channel, comprising the steps of providing at least some of the signal channels with an extended identical active layer (EIAL) so that the modulated sources each have an identical active region wavelength and detuning the laser emission wavelength in each laser source within the EIAL from the laser active region wavelength.

The first optical waveguide array has a plurality of inputs. Each of the inputs of the first optical waveguide array is configured to receive a corresponding one of the plurality of channels.
