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 64):
A Mach-Zehnder interferometer comprising:\n an optical splitter comprising at least one input waveguide and at least two output waveguides; an optical recombiner comprising at least two input waveguides and at least one output waveguide; and at least two interferometer arms, each optically coupled between one of the output waveguides of the optical splitter and one of the input waveguides of the optical recombiner, wherein at least one arm comprises the apparatus of  claim 56 .
