    Abstract: An optical waveguide structure is provided wherein a controller is configured to provide a TE control voltage to a first set of control electrodes in a first electrooptic functional region and a TM control voltage to a second set of control electrodes in a second electrooptic functional region. The TE control voltage and the first electrooptic functional region are configured to alter the TE polarization mode of an optical signal propagating along the waveguide core through the first electrooptic functional region to a substantially greater extent than the TM polarization mode of the optical signal. Further, the TM control voltage and the second electrooptic functional region are configured to alter the TM polarization mode of an optical signal propagating along the waveguide core through the second electrooptic functional region to a substantially greater extent than the TE polarization mode of the optical signal. Additional embodiments and features are disclosed and claimed.

    Abstract: Methods of attenuating, delaying the phase, and otherwise controlling an optical signal propagating along a waveguide are provided. According to one method, a variable optical attenuator structure is provided comprising a waveguide core, a cladding, an electrooptic polymer, and a set of control electrodes. The core, the cladding, and the electrooptic polymer are configured such that an increase in the index of refraction of the polymer causes a substantial portion of an optical signal propagating along the waveguide core to couple into a relatively high index region of the electrooptic polymer above the waveguide core, so as to inhibit return of the coupled signal to the waveguide core. Another embodiment of the present invention introduces a phase delay in the coupled optical signal and permits return of the coupled signal to the waveguide core. An additional embodiment contemplates the use of a ridge waveguide structure to enable control of the optical signal.

    Abstract: A method of converting a modulated optical signal to an encoded electrical signal is provided. The method utilizes a device comprising an electrooptic sideband generator, an optical filter, and an optical/electrical converter. Initially, the modulated optical signal, which carries encoded optical data, is directed to an optical input of the electrooptic sideband generator. The electrooptic sideband generator is driven to generate frequency sidebands about a carrier frequency of the input optical signal. The optical filter is utilized to discriminate between the frequency sidebands and the carrier frequency and combine sidebands-of-interest to yield at least one frequency-converted optical signal comprising a millimeter wave modulation frequency. The frequency converted optical signal carries the encoded optical data and the modulation frequency is a function of the spacing of the sidebands-of-interest. The frequency-converted optical signal is directed to the optical/electrical converter where it is converted to an encoded electrical signal. Additional embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
