The electro-optical modulator includes a rib waveguide formed by stacking a second semiconductor layer 9 having a different conductivity type from a first semiconductor layer 8 on the first semiconductor layer 8 via a dielectric film 11, and the semiconductor layers 8 and 9 are connectable to an external terminal via highly-doped portions 4 and 10, respectively. In a region in the vicinity of contact surfaces of the semiconductor layers 8 and 9 with the dielectric film 11, a free carrier is accumulated, removed, or inverted by an electrical signal from the external terminal, and whereby a concentration of the free carrier in an electric field region of an optical signal is modulated, so that a phase of the optical signal can be modulated. At least one of the semiconductor layers 8 and 9 is wider than the stacked portion. At least one of the highly-doped portions 4 and 10 is formed outside the stacked portion.

Abstract: A phase shifter includes an optical waveguide, a plurality of impurity regions and a plurality of electrodes. The optical waveguide receives an optical input signal and outputs an optical output signal. The impurity regions include respective charge carriers. The impurity regions are disposed in contact with the optical waveguide at respective contact surface, where at least one of the contact surfaces has a zigzag pattern. The electrodes are connected to the respective impurity regions. Application of an electrical signal to at least one of the electrodes phase-shifts the optical output signal with respect to the optical input signal. Therefore, the phase shifter may efficiently vary a magnitude of the phase shift of the optical output signal.

Abstract: A hybrid strip-loaded EO polymer/sol-gel modulator in which the sol-gel core waveguide does not lie below the active EO polymer waveguide increases the higher electric field/optical field overlap factor Γ and reduces inter-electrode separation d thereby lowering the modulator's half-wave drive voltage Vπ, reducing insertion loss and improving extinction. The strip-loaded modulator comprises an EO polymer layer that eliminates optical scattering caused by sidewall roughness due to etching. Light does not encounter rough edges as it transitions to and from the sol-gel and EO polymer waveguides. This reduces insertion loss.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an optical device involves forming patterns on a dielectric substrate. The patterns include a waveguide pattern having a folded part, a conductor pattern positioned on an outer peripheral side of the folded part, and a dummy pattern that connects the folded part and the conductor pattern.
