Abstract: A velocity mismatch between optical signals and microwave electrical signals in electro-optic devices, such as modulators, may be compensated by utilizing different lengths of bends in the optical waveguides as compared to the microwave electrodes to match the velocity of the microwave signal propagating along the coplanar waveguide to the velocity of the optical signal. To ensure the electrode bends do not affect the light in the optical waveguide bends, the electrode may have to be rerouted, e.g. above or below, the optical waveguide layer. To ensure that the pair of optical waveguides have the same optical length, a waveguide crossing may be used to cross the first waveguide through the second waveguide.

Abstract: An optical modulator includes optical material(s) and first and second differential electrode pairs. The optical material(s) exhibit an electro-optic effect and include lithium. The optical material(s) include first and second waveguides and first and second slab portions adjoining the first and second waveguides. The first differential electrode pair has electrodes arranged on opposing sides of the first waveguide. The second differential electrode pair has electrodes arranged on opposing sides of the second waveguide. The negative electrodes are arranged on distal sides of the waveguide relative to the other waveguide. The positive electrodes are arranged on proximal sides of waveguide relative to the other waveguide. The first and second waveguides, the first and second slab portions, and the first and second differential electrode pairs reside on a substrate structure. No portion of the first slab portion is between the first or second differential electrode pair and the substrate structure.

Abstract: An integrated electro-optic frequency comb generator based on ultralow loss integrated, e.g. thin-film lithium niobate, platform, which enables low power consumption comb generation spanning over a wider range of optical frequencies. The comb generator includes an intensity modulator, and at least one phase modulator, which provides a powerful technique to generate a broad high power comb, without using an optical resonator. A compact integrated electro-optic modulator based frequency comb generator, provides the benefits of integrated, e.g. lithium niobate, platform including low waveguide loss, high electro-optic modulation efficiency, small bending radius and flexible microwave design.
