Abstract:
We disclose herein an optical apparatus comprising an optical signal path which is driven by a plurality of electrical drivers. The electrical drivers are configured to optimise delays between two adjacent electrical drivers. The delays are optimised such that power loss in the optical apparatus is reduced.

Claim (Index 87):
A method of manufacturing an apparatus, the method comprising:\n forming an optical signal path; dividing the optical signal path into a plurality of sections, dividing at least one section into a plurality of sub-sections, forming an optical modulating element within each sub-section; providing a plurality of electrical drivers each generating at least one electrical signal for modulating at least one of the propagation properties of an optical signal through the optical signal path; coupling each optical modulating element with at least one of the plurality of electrical drivers; and providing a time delay difference between the electrical signals generated by at least two electrical drivers driving the optical modulating elements of respective sub-sections within said at least one section of the optical signal path that is smaller than or equal to seventy percent of the time-of-flight of an optical signal through said at least one section of said at least one optical signal path.
