Abstract: Systems and methods therefor relating generally to electro-absorption modulation are disclosed. In a system thereof, a waveguide is for propagating an optical signal. A segmented electro-absorption modulator (“SEAM”) includes: a segmented anode having at least two anode segments spaced apart from one another alongside a first side of the waveguide; and a segmented cathode having at least two cathode segments spaced apart from one another alongside a second side of the waveguide corresponding to the at least two anode segments.

Abstract: Systems, and related methods, relating generally to electro-absorption modulation are described. In a system therefor, there is a waveguide. A photodetector is configured with respect to the waveguide for detecting luminous intensity of an optical signal. An electro-absorption modulator is configured with respect to the waveguide for electro-absorption modulation of the optical signal. An integrated heating element is located alongside and spaced apart from both the photodetector and the electro-absorption modulator. the integrated heating element is configured for controllably heating the photodetector and the electro-absorption modulator.
