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 60):
An apparatus according to  claim 56 , wherein the apparatus is configured to generate at least one of the following modulated optical signals: M-ary phase shift keying (M-ary PSK), multi-level phase modulation, M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M-ary QAM), and M-ary amplitude shift keying (M-ary ASK) modulated optical signal; and/or\n wherein the apparatus is configured to generate multi-level pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) optical signal; and/or wherein separate electrical signal input ports are provided for separate groups; and/or wherein each optical modulating element comprises a controllable optical property, wherein the controllable optical property comprises at least one of the following properties: refractive index, absorption coefficient, birefringence, index ellipsoid, a combination of refractive index and absorption coefficient, a combination of birefringence and absorption coefficient, and a combination of index ellipsoid and absorption coefficient.
