Abstract:
An optical phase shifter may include a waveguide core that has a top surface, and a semiconductor contact that is laterally displaced relative to the waveguide core and is electrically connected to the waveguide core. A top surface of the semiconductor contact is above the top surface of the waveguide core. The waveguide core may include a p-type core region and an n-type core region. A p-type semiconductor region may be in physical contact with the n-type core region of the waveguide core, and an n-type semiconductor region may be in physical contact with the p-type core region of the waveguide core. A phase shifter region and a light-emitting region may be disposed at different depth levels, and the light-emitting region may emit light from a phase shifter region that is in a position adjacent to the light-emitting region.

Claim (Index 5):
The optical device of  claim 3 , wherein:\n the first waveguide includes a first plurality of sections, wherein the first propagation constant for each section of the first plurality of sections is uniform, wherein each section of the first plurality of sections is connected to an adjacent section of the first plurality of sections by a taper; and the second waveguide includes a second plurality of sections, wherein the second propagation constant for each section of the second plurality of sections is uniform, wherein each section of the second plurality of sections is connected to an adjacent section of the second plurality of sections by a taper.
