Abstract:
An optical modulator apparatus may include a plurality of segment drivers, each segment driver having a unique offset voltage and driving but a portion or a segment of an electro-optical modulator. A modulating electrical signal may be applied to the segment drivers via a plurality of electrical delays. Parameters of the segment drivers may be selected so as to approximate a pre-defined transfer function, which may include a linear or a non-linear transfer function.

Claim (Index 45):
The method of  claim 43 , wherein for each of the segment drivers, the limiting voltage transfer function relating the driving voltage V d  and the control voltage V c , is such that:\n V d =V low  when  V c <V os \u2212V th ; V d =V high  when  V c >V os +V th ; and V d  varies between V low  and V high  when V c  varies between V os \u2212V th  and V os +V th .
