Abstract:
A multi-section optical modulator and related method wherein two waveguide arms traverse a plurality of successive modulating sections. A differential drive signal is applied separately to each waveguide arm of each modulating sections in synchronism with the transmission of light along the waveguide arms, effecting a dual differential driving of each section. By suitably selecting the number of modulating sections and the section length, a high modulation bandwidth and a high modulation efficiency may be achieved simultaneously for a given peak-to-peak voltage swing of the drive signal.

Claim (Index 30):
The optical waveguide modulator of  claim 21  wherein each of the cathode and anode electrodes comprises a first end and a second end, wherein the first and second differential drivers are DC coupled to the first ends to respective cathode or anode electrodes, wherein the second ends of the anode electrodes are grounded, and wherein the second ends of the cathode electrodes are connected to a source of DC voltage.
