    Abstract: An optical modulator for switching an optical signal of wavelength λ from one waveguide-electrode to another requires that both waveguide-electrodes be made of an electrically conducting material. Also, a non-conducting cross-coupling material fills a slot along a length L between the waveguide-electrodes. Importantly, cross-coupling material in the slot provides a separation distance xc between the waveguide-electrodes that is less than 0.35 microns. When a switching voltage Vπ is selectively applied to the waveguide-electrodes, a strong uniform electric field E is created within the cross-coupling material. Thus, E modulates the cross-coupling length of the optical signal by an increment ±Δ each time it passes back and forth through the cross-coupling material along the length L. Thus, after an N number of cross-coupling length cycles along the length L, when NΔ equals one cross-coupling length, the optical signal is switched from one waveguide-electrode to the other.

    Abstract: The present invention is based on a two-dimensional photonic crystal where are inserted defects that originate two waveguides and one resonant cavity. An electromagnetic signal that crosses the device is confined in the interior of the defects, due to the photonic band gap associated with the periodic structure that surrounds it. Its main function is the control of the flux of an electromagnetic signal over a communication channel, blocking (state off) or allowing (state on) the passage of the signal. It also promotes the change in the propagation direction of an electromagnetic signal by an angle of 120 degrees, providing greater flexibility in the design of integrated optical systems. The working principle of the device is based on the excitation of dipole modes in its resonant cavity, accordingly to the application of an external DC magnetic field on the magneto-optical material that constitutes it. In states on and off the magneto-optical material is magnetized and nonmagnetized, respectively.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for modulating a beam of radiation, such that the modulated beam exhibits substantially null residual amplitude modulation (RAM). An electro-optical modulator is presented that includes a waveguide, a first region associated with the waveguide and a second region associated with the waveguide. The waveguide is designed to guide a beam of radiation. A first electric potential applied to the first region causes a first modulation to the beam of radiation while a second electric potential applied to the second region causes a second modulation to the beam of radiation. The first modulation combined with the second modulation provides substantially null residual amplitude modulation of the beam of radiation.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an optical delay element that makes use of a line-defect waveguide of a photonic crystal, in which long optical delay time and small group speed dispersion are rendered compatible with each other and in which waveform distortion that might otherwise be produced in processing an ultra-high speed signal is eliminated. Two line-defect waveguides 5 and 11, having different pillar diameters and group velocity dispersions of opposite signs, are interconnected by a line-defect waveguide 8, the pillar diameters of which are gradually varied from one 5 of the line-defect waveguides to the other line-defect waveguide 11, such as to compensate for group speed dispersion as well as to maintain an optical delay effect.
