    Abstract: PURPOSE: To relieve etching conditions for two parallel buffer layers by setting the carrier density and refractive index of the optical waveguide layer and buffer layers formed successively on a substrate layer in a way as to satisfy prescribed conditions.
    CONSTITUTION: An optical modulating element consists successively from below of an ohmic electrode 5, an n
    + (p
    + )Al
    u Ga
    1-u As substrate 1, an n
    + (p
    + )Al
    x Ga
    1-n As substrate layer 2, an n(p)Al
    z Ga
    1-z As optical waveguide layer 3, n(p)Al
    y Ga
    1-y As buffer layers (two) 5 and a Schottkey electrode 6. n, p denote semiconductors of n type and p type, and n
    + , p
    + denote the parts where the carrier density is particularly larger than n, p. n(p) indicates that either the n type or the p type is acceptable. (z) is made substantially smaller than (x), (y) to make the refractive index of the layer 3 higher by about 0.1% than the layer 4 and the layer 2 to confine light. The carrier density is made large in the layer 2 and the substrate 1 and small in the waveguide 3 and the layer 4. The etching conditions for the layer 4 are thus relieved.

    Abstract: An optical modulator includes an optical waveguide, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a first low dielectric constant layer. The optical waveguide includes a material having an electro-optic effect. The first electrode includes a semiconductor material and is spaced by a gap from the optical waveguide. The second electrode is positioned to provide a potential difference with the first electrode and apply an electric field to the optical waveguide. The first low dielectric constant layer has a refractive index smaller than that of the optical waveguide, and is provided in the gap between the first electrode and the optical waveguide.

    Abstract: An optical device includes a rib optical waveguide formed on a substrate, a P doped region formed in one of slab regions of the rib optical waveguide, an N doped region formed in the other one of the slab regions of the rib optical waveguide, a first electrode connected to the P doped region, a second electrode connected to the N doped region, and an optical absorption structure. The optical absorption structure implements optical absorption of signal light passing through the rib optical waveguide according to an electric current that flows between the first electrode and the second electrode, and makes, in the optical absorption, the signal light passing through an optical input portion of the rib optical waveguide lower in optical attenuation rate than the signal light passing through at least part of the rib optical waveguide, the part excluding the optical input portion.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for a vertical junction high-speed phase modulator are disclosed and may include a semiconductor device having a semiconductor waveguide including a slab section, a rib section extending above the slab section, and raised ridges extending above the slab section on both sides of the rib section. The semiconductor device has a vertical pn junction with p-doped material and n-doped material arranged vertically with respect to each other in the rib and slab sections. The rib section may be either fully n-doped or p-doped in each cross-section along the semiconductor waveguide. Electrical connection to the p-doped and n-doped material may be enabled by forming contacts on the raised ridges, and electrical connection may be provided to the rib section from one of the contacts via periodically arranged sections of the semiconductor waveguide, where a cross-section of both the rib section and the slab section in the periodically arranged sections may be fully n-doped or fully p-doped.
