Patent EP-3615994-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ANDERSON SEAN P
IPC: G02F1/01
Filed: 2018-04-06
Abstract: Embodiments include a method and associated apparatuses for phaseshifting an optical signal. The method comprises receiving, at a first end of an optical waveguide formed in a semiconductor layer and extending along a first axis, an optical signal having a first phase. The method further comprises transmitting, at a second end of the optical waveguide opposite the first end, a modified optical signal having a second phase different than the first phase. Transmitting a modified optical signal comprises applying a voltage signal between a first contact region and a second contact region formed in the semiconductor layer apart from the first axis. Applying a voltage signal causes an electrical current to be conducted along a dimension of the optical waveguide. The electrical current causes resistive heating of the optical waveguide and a desired phase shift between the first phase and the second phase.
