Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 19:
20. A system, comprising:
a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) structure that comprises:
a first waveguide interferometer arm structure that comprises a first segmented electrode associated with at least a first electrode, a second electrode, and a third electrode;
a second waveguide interferometer arm structure that comprises a second segmented electrode associated with at least a fourth electrode, a fifth electrode, and a sixth electrode,

wherein the MZM structure is configured to convert an optical input signal into an optical output signal through application of a first digital data signal to the first electrode of the first waveguide interferometer arm structure and the fourth electrode of the second waveguide interferometer arm structure, application of a second digital data signal to the second electrode of the first waveguide interferometer arm structure and the fifth electrode of the second waveguide interferometer arm structure, and application of a redundant digital data signal to the third electrode of the first waveguide interferometer arm structure and the sixth electrode of the second waveguide interferometer arm structure.
