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 42):
The method of  claim 41  wherein b) comprises driving at least one of the optical modulator segments in accordance with the limiting voltage transfer function that is specific to the segment driver thereof.
