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 33):
An apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the optical modulating element comprises at least four semiconductor regions, the first semiconductor region being adjacent to the second semiconductor region, and the third semiconductor region being adjacent to the fourth semiconductor region; and\n optionally further comprising two optical signal paths, wherein the first optical signal path comprises the first and second semiconductor regions, and the second optical signal path comprises the third and fourth semiconductor regions; and/or wherein the optical modulating element comprises at least two electrical signal ports; and/or wherein the first and fourth regions comprise n-type semiconductors, and the second and third regions comprise p-type semiconductors; or wherein the first and fourth regions comprise p-type semiconductors, and the second and third regions comprise n-type semiconductors; or wherein the optical modulating element comprises at least six semiconductor regions, the fifth semiconductor region sandwiched between the first and second semiconductor regions, and the sixth semiconductor region sandwiched between the third and fourth semiconductor regions; and optionally wherein the fifth and sixth regions comprise intrinsic semiconductors; and/or\n wherein the first and fourth regions comprise n-type semiconductors, and the second and third regions comprise p-type semiconductors; or\n wherein the first and fourth regions comprise p-type semiconductors, and the second and third regions comprise n-type semiconductors; and/or \n \n further comprising two optical signal paths, wherein the first optical signal path comprises the first, second, and fifth semiconductor regions, and the second optical signal path comprises the third, fourth, and sixth semiconductor regions.
