Abstract:
An optical signal modulator comprising a modulator unit, a photodetector and an electrical signal combiner. The modular unit having an optical ingress port for optical radiation, a first and second optical output port each for modulated optical radiation, and an electrical ingress port for an electrical modulation signal. The optical radiation is modulated in response to the electrical modulation signal. The photodetector is connected to the second optical output port and configured to measure the modulated optical radiation that is emitted, and to provide a monitor signal. The electrical signal combiner having a first input port for an external electrical data signal, a second electrical input port for a correction signal based on the monitor signal, and an electrical output port that is connected to the electrical ingress port. The combiner generates the electrical modulation signal by combining the external electrical data signal and the correction signal.

Claim (Index 4):
An optical signal modulator comprising\n a modulator unit having an optical ingress port for inputting optical radiation, a first and second optical output port each for outputting modulated optical radiation, and an electrical ingress port for inputting an electrical modulation signal, the modulator unit being configured to modulate the optical radiation in response to the electrical modulation signal, a photodetector connected to the second optical output port and configured to measure the modulated optical radiation that is emitted at the second optical output port, and to provide a monitor signal, and an electrical signal combiner having a first input port for inputting an external electrical data signal, a second electrical input port for inputting a correction signal that is based on the monitor signal, and an electrical output port that is connected to the electrical ingress port of the modulator unit, wherein the combiner is configured to generate said electrical modulation signal by combining the external electrical data signal and the correction signal, wherein the modulator unit, the photodetector and the combiner are integrated in the same semiconductor chip, and wherein the modulator unit, the photodetector and the combiner are integrated in semiconductor layers located on the same semiconductor substrate of the same semiconductor chip.
