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 1):
An optical device comprising:\n a first optical path that includes a first waveguide having a first propagation constant, wherein the first waveguide includes a first phase shifter configured to apply a phase shift along the first waveguide; a second optical path that includes a second waveguide parallel to the first waveguide and having a second propagation constant that is different from the first propagation constant, wherein the second waveguide includes a second phase shifter configured to apply a phase shift along the second waveguide; a first antenna configured to emit first light from the first optical path; and a second antenna configured to emit second light from the second optical path.
