Abstract:
Described are various embodiments of a dual optical modulator, system and method. In one embodiment, an optical modulator modulates an input optical signal having a designated optical frequency. The modulator comprises first and second tunable modulators operable around the optical frequency and operatively disposed between a bus waveguide path and an opposed waveguide path. The modulator further comprises a relative optical phase-shifter optically coupled between the tunable modulators so to impart a relative optical phase shift between the bus waveguide path and the opposed waveguide path. The tunable modulators are respectively driveable to modulate a respective resonance thereof in complimentary directions relative to the optical frequency and thereby resonantly redirect a selectable portion of the input optical signal along the opposed waveguide path such that the relative optical phase shift is imparted thereto for output. Embodiments of an optical modulation method and an IQ modulator are also described.

Claim (Index 38):
The optical transmitter according to  claim 28 , wherein the light source comprises a tunable coherent light source, capable of generating a variable input optical signal; and\n wherein at least one of the first and second optical resonators comprises a tunable optical resonator biasable relative to a variable optical frequency of the input optical signal, and wherein the modulator driver is capable of driving at least one of the first and second optical resonators to shift a respective resonance thereof relative to the variable optical frequency of the input optical signal.
