    Abstract: In a multilevel light intensity modulator of the invention, input light is branched into n (n is an integer of 2 or more), and respectively sent to n branching waveguides. On the branching waveguides are respectively provided MZI light modulating sections. The MZI light modulating sections branch the input light into two at a branching ratio different from 0.5:0.5, and respectively output a binary optical signal with a quenching ratio being deteriorated, by on/off driving with a binary electric signal. Then by coupling the light output from the MZI light modulating sections, an optical signal with the light intensity modulated to a 2n value not including the zero level is output. As a result quaternary or higher level light intensity modulation which does not include the zero level, can be realized by a practical configuration using a binary electric signal.

    Abstract: A silicon-based optical modulator structure includes one or more separate localized heating elements for changing the refractive index of an associated portion of the structure and thereby providing corrective adjustments to address unwanted variations in device performance. Heating is provided by thermo-optic devices such as, for example, silicon-based resistors, silicide resistors, forward-biased PN junctions, and the like, where any of these structures may easily be incorporated with a silicon-based optical modulator. The application of a DC voltage to any of these structures will generate heat, which hen transfers into the waveguiding area. The increase in local temperature of the waveguiding area will, in turn, increase the refractive index of the waveguiding in the area. Control of the applied DC voltage results in controlling the refractive index.
