Abstract: A photocarrier-injecting variable optical attenuator that operates by injecting photocarriers into a light transmitting waveguide from a second, injection light source. The light transmitting waveguide may be defined by a ridge extending from a slab of a light transmitting medium. The light transmitting waveguide is transparent to signal light. Light emitted from the second, injection light source is optically absorbed by the light transmitting waveguide to introduce photocarriers in a plurality of configurations, thereby attenuating the signal light.

Abstract: A new High-Z optical modulator has a waveguide and electrodes on a substrate, a buffer layer with a low dielectric constant between the waveguide and the substrate, and a substance between the waveguide and the substrate with a dielectric constant lower than a dielectric constant of the substrate to the side and below the plane of the waveguide, thereby improving electro-optic field overlap, increasing RF speed and increasing transmission line impedance. The material with a dielectric constant lower than the substrate extends between the waveguide and the electrodes to a depth below the waveguide equal to or greater than the lateral distance between the waveguide and electrodes. This material may be air and may be introduced by cutting away portions of the substrate around the waveguide with a precision dicing saw. The electrodes may be placed even with the waveguide or below the waveguide on the cut-away portion of the substrate.

Abstract: An optical system includes modulators positioned on a base. Each modulator includes a modulator waveguide that receives a light signal and guides the received light signal through the modulator. The system also includes drive electronics in electrical communication with the modulators. The drive electronics apply electrical energy to each of the modulators such that an electrical field is generated within the modulator waveguide so as to modulate one of the light signals into a modulated signal. The system includes multiple drive paths that each has a length from a contact pad on the drive electronics to a location where the electrical field is formed in one of the modulator waveguides. The modulators are configured such that the drive path length for each of the modulators is less than 0.5 mm.
