Claim 0:
1. 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 and a second electrode; and
a second waveguide interferometer arm structure that comprises a second segmented electrode associated with at least a third electrode and a fourth electrode,
wherein the MZM structure is configured to convert an optical input signal into an optical output signal through application of a digital data signal to the first electrode of the first waveguide interferometer arm structure and the third electrode of the second waveguide interferometer arm structure and application of a redundant digital data signal to the second electrode of the first waveguide interferometer arm structure and the fourth electrode of the second waveguide interferometer arm structure.
