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 2):
An apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the optical signal path further comprises at least one group comprising at least two of said plurality of sections; and/or\n further comprising electrical circuit comprising said plurality of electrical drivers; and\n optionally wherein the electrical circuit comprises an electrical network selected from a group comprising Daisy Chain network, Line network, Bus network, Tree network, and Star network; and/or \n wherein said electrical circuit comprises at least one electrical signal input port and a plurality of electrical signal output ports; and\n optionally wherein the number of electrical signal output ports is equal to or greater than the number of subsections each comprising an optical modulating element of the optical signal path; and/or \n wherein said at least one electrical signal input port is configured to supply an electrical signal to optical modulating elements within said at least one group of the optical signal path; and/or \n wherein separate electrical signal input ports are provided for separate groups of the optical signal path.
