Patent ID: 7343054

Claim:
A method for fabricating an integrated electro-optic module comprising: depositing a bottom cladding layer; creating side cladding features, the side cladding features having a first ridge depth in a splitter portion and a second ridge depth in a modulator portion, the first ridge depth greater than the second ridge depth; depositing an electro-optic polymer, the electro-optic polymer forming an electro-optic layer having a first inverted-ridge structure in the modulator portion and a second inverted-ridge structure in splitter portion; and depositing a top cladding layer, the top cladding layer covering the electro-optic layer; wherein the splitter portion comprises at least one split for dividing a light wave into a plurality of channels, and wherein the modulator portion comprises a plurality of modulators, each modulator corresponding to one of the plurality of channels and comprising a first path, a second path, and an interference point where the first path and the second path intersect.
