    Abstract: In example implementations, an apparatus includes a serializer, a re-timing buffer coupled to the serializer, and a plurality of segments coupled to the re-timing buffer. The plurality of segments may be used for controlling a timing of an electrical signal. Each one of the plurality of segments may include a segment serializer, a timing control coupled to the segment serializer and a driver coupled to the timing control. In addition, a phase clock may be coupled to the segment serializer and the timing control of each one of the plurality of segments.

    Abstract: Mach-Zehnder interferometers comprise heater elements configured to have projections in the plane of optical waveguides positioned such that two adjacent sections of one optical waveguide arms are heated by a common heater element. The heater and at least a substantial section of the heated waveguide segments can be curved. Configurations of an optical waveguide arm can comprise an outer curved heated section, an inner curved heated section, and a loopback waveguide section connecting the outer curved heated section and the inner curved heated section, with average radius of curvature selected to form an open accessible space. Appropriate configurations of the two optical waveguide arms provide for nested configurations of the arms that provide for a compact structure for the interferometer.

    Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide an optical modulator having a small-sized circuit configuration and a smaller voltage drop amount in a terminating resistor. An optical modulator includes first and second optical waveguides, a first signal electrode that inputs a first high frequency signal into the first optical waveguide, a second signal electrode that inputs a second high frequency signal having a reverse phase with respect to a phase of the first high frequency signal into the second optical waveguide, a first terminating resistor connected to the first signal electrode at a terminating part side, a second terminating resistor connected to the second signal electrode at a terminating part side, a connection point that connects the first and second signal electrodes via the first and second terminating resistors, and a direct current voltage supply connected to the connection point. A resistance value of the first terminating resistor is equal to characteristic impedance of the first signal electrode. A resistance value of the second terminating resistor is equal to characteristic impedance of the second signal electrode.

    Abstract: In one example, an apparatus includes e first beam splitter having a final output and a second output. A first optical waveguide is coupled to the first output, and a second optical waveguide is coupled to the second output. A first tunable phase delay is further coupled to the second optical waveguide and has a third output. A first set of phase modulators is coupled to the first optical waveguide, and a second set of phase modulators is coupled to the third output of the first tunable phase delay. At least one of the first set of phase modulators and the second set of phase modulators includes a phase modulator that is driven to three or more distinct phase states. A second beam splitter has a first input coupled to the first optical waveguide and a second input coupled to the second optical waveguide.
