Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for modulating an amplitude and a phase of light, comprising: a waveguide capable of transmitting light therethrough; at least two micro-resonators (1) located on opposite sides of the waveguide, (2) symmetrically side-coupled in parallel through the waveguide, and (3) having at least one parameter deviation in at least one resonator characteristic as a result of material or manufacturing imperfections; and an electronic structure, formed in each of said micro-resonators, that is electrically biased to dynamically vary at least one of an amplitude and a phase of light so as to cause electro-optic modulation of the amplitude and the phase of the light, wherein each bias voltage for the electronic structure comprises a numerical offset that is determined based upon the at least one parameter deviation.
