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 26):
An apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the optical signal path comprises a meandered shape; and/or\n wherein the optical signal path comprises a first portion and a second meandered portion, wherein the first portion comprises at least some of the plurality of optical modulating elements each comprising first and second electrical input ports, and the second meandered portion comprises the remaining of the plurality of optical modulating elements each comprising first and second electrical input ports; and\n optionally wherein the second meandered portion is bent in about 180\u00b0 in respect of the first portion; and/or\n wherein the signal polarity of the first and second electrical input ports located within the first portion of the optical signal path is opposite to the signal polarity of the first and second electrical input ports of the second meandered portion of the optical signal path; and\n optionally wherein the optical modulating element comprises a ferroelectric crystal material; and \n \u2003optionally wherein the ferroelectric crystal material comprises at least one of the following materials: Lithium Niobate, Barium Titanate, and Potassium Titanyl Phosphate.
