Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved optical modulator which employs minimum shift keying (MSK). SOLUTION: An optical modulator implemented with an MSK format is disclosed. The modulator creates two separate pulse streams (one pulse stream comprising odd number of bits and the other comprising even number of bits of the data stream) using a half pulse generator. The modulator then uses electrooptic phase modulators to encode the odd and even numbered bits separately, and a 50/50 coupler to recombine them.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a profile of an electric field more highly matching with the profile of an optical field to produce the maximum optical field and electric field by forming side walls in such a manner that at least a part of the side wall forms an acute angle. SOLUTION: The peak of the profile of the RF field is shifted towards under the surface of a lithium niobate substrate. A side wall 55 having an acute angle is formed on the mesa including a waveguide 52. In this structure, the peak of the RF field formed on electrodes 53, 54 is shifted towards near the peak of the optical profile to improve the effect of the electron-opticalcal interaction and to optimize the overlap. In this device structure, the electrode 54 is offset in the z-direction due to the ridge structure, namely, the electrode 54 is sunk. A device having equivalent performance to the effect of the side wall having an acute angle can be formed with a common planar electrode.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for etching structures into ferroelectric materials. SOLUTION: A single layer of ions is implanted into a film surface and the material between the surface and the ion implantation layer is etched away without annealing the substrate. Electronic damage and crystalline damage of high levels are formed with single ion implantation with sufficient energy. Although the fact that the crystalline damage increases an etch rate of the ferroelectric material is publicly known, the inventors have discovered that the electronic damage increases the etch rate of the material. Damaged LiNbO3 has an etch rate much faster than undamaged LiNbO3 and an annealing process is not necessary for forming an etch stopping layer.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a Mach-Zehnder electrooptic modulator constitution which provides high-bit-rate throughput. SOLUTION: This Mach-Zehnder electrooptic modulator includes three regions. A 1st region has a couple of isolated waveguides and is equipped with a ground electrode 76 arranged on a 2nd waveguide 64 and an RF electrode (hot electrode) which is arranged on a 1st waveguide 66 and carries a modulated signal. A 2nd transition region is arranged right behind the 1st region. An electrode structure moves to the 2nd region, the RF electrode 72 is arranged over the 2nd waveguide 64 nearby the exit point of the 2nd region, and the ground electrode 78 is arranged on the 1st waveguide 66. A 3rd region is arranged behind the 2nd region. The RF electrode 72 is held on the 2nd waveguide 64 and the ground electrode 78 is held on the 1st waveguide 66.

Abstract: The specification describes an optical modulator implemented with an MSK format. The modulator creates two separate pulse streams (one pulse stream comprising the odd bits and the other comprising the even bits of the data stream) using a 1-by-2 pulse generator (13, 14, 16). The modulator then uses electrooptic phase modulators (17, 18) to encode the odd and even numbered bits separately, and a 50/50 coupler (21) to remix them.

Abstract: A method of etching a ferrolectric material is disclosed whereby a single layer of ions is implanted into a surface of the film and then, without first annealing the substrate, the material between that surface and the layer of ion implantation is etched away. Such a method has the benefit of being faster and much less costly as compared to prior art methods. A single ion implantation of sufficient energy causes a high level of electronic damage near the surface of the material and a high level of crystalline damage at the ion implant level. While it is well known that crystalline damage greatly increases the etch rate of a ferroelectric material, the inventors have discovered that the aforementioned electronic damage also substantially increases the etch rate of the material. Since damaged lithium niobate etches at a much faster rate then undamaged lithium niobate, no annealing is necessary to create an etch stop. Additionally, since there is sufficient damage, either electronic or nuclear, continuously from the surface of the material to the implant layer, multiple ion layer implantations are not necessary.
