Abstract:
Optical modulators with semiconductor based optical waveguides interacting with an RF waveguide in a traveling wave structure. The semiconductor optical waveguide generally comprise a p-n junction along the waveguide. To reduce the phase walk-off between the optical signal and the RF signal, the traveling wave structure can comprise one or more compensation sections where the phase walk-off is reversed. The compensation sections can comprise a change in dopant concentrations, extra length for the optical waveguide and/or extra length for the RF waveguide. Corresponding methods are described.

Claim (Index 8):
The optical modulator of  claim 7  comprising a Mach-Zehnder modulator structure with an input waveguide, two interferometer arms, an optical splitter optically connecting the input waveguide with the two interferometer arms, wherein one interferometer arm corresponds with the semiconductor-based optical waveguide.
