Abstract:
An optical interference modulator comprises a main input, a main output, an optical splitter connected to the main input, first and second MMI couplers, each with a first primary-end access port connected to the splitter; a second primary-end access port connected to the main output; a first secondary-end access port connected to a respective primary wave-guide; and a second secondary-end access port connected to a respective secondary wave-guide. A light reflector is arranged to reflect light incident from said primary and secondary waveguides back into the same respective waveguide such that light travelling through the respective waveguide from the respective secondary-end access port, after reflection, travels back to the same secondary-end access port. For the MMI couplers, at least one of the respective primary and secondary waveguides comprises a respective light phase modulating device arranged to modulate the phase of light travelling along the corresponding waveguide in either direction.

Claim (Index 18):
Aggregated optical interference modulator comprising two modulators according to  claim 1 , wherein the aggregated modulator comprises a main aggregated modulator input, a main aggregated modulator output, an optical aggregated modulator light splitter and an optical aggregated modulator light combiner, which aggregated modulator splitter is arranged to split light incident from said main aggregated modulator input to each main input of the respective modulators, and which aggregated modulator combiner is arranged to combine light incident from the main outputs of the respective modulators
