    Abstract: An optical phase shifting arrangement and associated optical switching device and method are disclosed. The optical phase shifting arrangement comprises a first optical phase shifter configured to provide a first phase shift to an optical signal, and a second optical phase shifter configured to provide a second phase shift to the optical signal in addition to the first phase shift. During a predefined period, the first optical phase shifter and the second optical phase shifter are driven such that the second phase shift is substantially complementary to the first phase shift.

    Abstract: Embodiments include a method and associated apparatuses for phaseshifting an optical signal. The method comprises receiving, at a first end of an optical waveguide formed in a semiconductor layer and extending along a first axis, an optical signal having a first phase. The method further comprises transmitting, at a second end of the optical waveguide opposite the first end, a modified optical signal having a second phase different than the first phase. Transmitting a modified optical signal comprises applying a voltage signal between a first contact region and a second contact region formed in the semiconductor layer apart from the first axis. Applying a voltage signal causes an electrical current to be conducted along a dimension of the optical waveguide. The electrical current causes resistive heating of the optical waveguide and a desired phase shift between the first phase and the second phase.

    Abstract: Embodiments presented in this disclosure generally relate to an electro-optic device that includes one or more modulator portions and a terminator portion. Each modulator portion is disposed along a propagation path of an optical signal and includes a respective first doped region and one or more coupled first electrical contacts. Each modulator portion operates to modulate an optical signal propagating through the first doped region using first electrical signals applied to the electrical contacts. The terminator portion is disposed along the propagation path and proximate to at least one modulator portions, and operates to mitigate effects of droop on the propagating optical signal.

    Abstract: Improvements in extinguishing optical signals in silicon photonics may be achieved by supplying a test signal of a known characteristics to a Photonic Element (PE) to extinguish the test signal via a first phase shifter and intensity modulator on a first arm of the PE and a second phase shifter and intensity modulator on a second arm of the PE; sweeping through a plurality of voltages at the first intensity modulator to identify a first voltage that is associated with an extinction ratio at an output of the PE that satisfies an induced loss threshold and a second voltage that is associated with an induced loss in the test signal at the output of the PE that satisfies an extinction ratio threshold; and setting the PE to provide an operational voltage to the first intensity modulator based on the first voltage and the second voltage.
