摘要: A velocity mismatch between optical signals and microwave electrical signals in electro-optic devices, such as modulators, may be compensated by utilizing different lengths of bends in the optical waveguides as compared to the microwave electrodes to match the velocity of the microwave signal propagating along the coplanar waveguide to the velocity of the optical signal. To ensure the electrode bends do not affect the light in the optical waveguide bends, the electrode may have to be rerouted, e.g. above or below, the optical waveguide layer. To ensure that the pair of optical waveguides have the same optical length, a waveguide crossing may be used to cross the first waveguide through the second waveguide.

摘要: Provided is a distributed optical phase modulator, comprising: a substrate (10); an optical waveguide (20) arranged on the substrate (10); a drive electrode (30) that is arranged on the substrate (10) and comprises a plurality of sub drive electrodes (31) arranged at intervals; and at least one shielding electrode (40), wherein at least some shielding electrodes and the sub drive electrodes (31) are arranged at intervals. The optical waveguide (20) sequentially passes through the sub drive electrodes (31) and the shielding electrodes (40). The length of each part of the drive electrode (30) is far less than the total length of an equivalent traditional modulator, and the drive signal voltage of each part is also far less than the drive signal voltage of the equivalent traditional modulator. In each part of the drive electrode (30), the propagation of an optical signal and the propagation of an electrical signal can be approximately synchronous, even synchronous. The phenomenon of walk-off between the optical signal and the electrical signal is minimized, and the upper limit of a modulation bandwidth is improved. The shielding electrodes (40) are respectively arranged between the sub drive electrodes (31), so that crosstalk between the sub drive electrodes (31) can be shielded, and crosstalk between the sub drive electrodes (31) can be greatly reduced.

摘要: Provided is a substrate-type optical waveguide, having a phase modulation function, (i) in which a reflection of a signal to be inputted via a coplanar line is restrained and (ii) which consumes less power. In a case where the substrate-type optical waveguide is partitioned into a plurality of sections by cross sections orthogonal to a direction in which light propagates through a core, a local capacitance in each of the plurality of sections gradually increases as a distance from an entrance end surface increases.

摘要: An optical module that processes an input optical signal and outputs a processed optical signal is disclosed. The optical module provides a housing and an optical processing device in the housing. The housing provides an optical input port and an optical output port in a first wall thereof in side-by-side arrangement. A third wall of the housing only provides RF terminals. Second and fourth walls of the housing provide DC terminals. Electrical connection between the DC terminals with DC pads on the device is realized through a wiring substrate whose top avoids an optical path from the optical input port to the input port of the device.

摘要: Improved optical interferometric modulators have a small waveguide spacing so that the waveguide pair are close to the central electrode, to enhance electro-optic interaction. Asymmetric waveguides with differential indices are used to effectively de-couple the waveguide pair. Multiple sections of asymmetric waveguide pairs with alternating differential indices are used to achieve chirp-free operation. Another version of the device utilizes transmission-line electrode that weave closer to one of the waveguide pair alternately between sections. Another version of the device utilizes waveguide structure that one of the waveguide is closer to the central electrode in alternate section. To improve efficiency further, a DC bias is provided on the outer electrodes configured as an RF-ground but DC-float electrodes. Another improvement is to have a slot is cut underneath the waveguide region to effectively reduce to thickness of the substrate. These improvements lead to higher modulator efficiency.
