Abstract:
Described are various embodiments of a dual optical modulator, system and method. In one embodiment, an optical modulator modulates an input optical signal having a designated optical frequency. The modulator comprises first and second tunable modulators operable around the optical frequency and operatively disposed between a bus waveguide path and an opposed waveguide path. The modulator further comprises a relative optical phase-shifter optically coupled between the tunable modulators so to impart a relative optical phase shift between the bus waveguide path and the opposed waveguide path. The tunable modulators are respectively driveable to modulate a respective resonance thereof in complimentary directions relative to the optical frequency and thereby resonantly redirect a selectable portion of the input optical signal along the opposed waveguide path such that the relative optical phase shift is imparted thereto for output. Embodiments of an optical modulation method and an IQ modulator are also described.

Claim (Index 28):
An optical transmitter comprising:\n a light source for generating an input optical signal; an optical modulator for modulating the input optical signal, the modulator comprising:\n a first optical resonator for receiving the input optical signal; \n a second optical resonator for outputting a modulated optical signal; \n a bus waveguide path and an opposed waveguide path extending between the first and second optical resonators; and \n a relative optical phase-shifter capable of imparting a relative optical phase shift between said bus waveguide path and said opposed waveguide path; and \n a modulator driver for driving the optical modulator.
