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 8):
An apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one delay element between drivers driving the respective coupled modulating elements of at least two sections of the optical signal path; and\n optionally wherein the delay element is configured to control the delay between the said electrical signals generated by drivers driving the respective coupled optical modulating elements of two adjacent sections of the optical signal path; and/or wherein the delay element is configured such that the delay between at least two of said electrical signals generated by drivers driving the respective coupled optical modulating elements within at least one section of the optical signal path is substantially minimised; and/or wherein the delay element is configured to provide a substantially constant delay between said electrical signals generated by the electrical drivers driving the respective coupled optical modulating elements within each section of the optical signal path; or\n wherein the delay element is configured to provide a controllable delay between said electrical signals generated by the electrical drivers driving the respective coupled optical modulating elements within each section of the optical path; and/or \n wherein the delay element comprises electronic delay circuitry; or wherein the delay element is a passive delay element comprising a transmission line.
