Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward techniques and configurations for an apparatus comprising an electro-optical modulation device with a bias control and adjustment. In some embodiments, the apparatus may comprise an electro-optical modulator having first and second arms, to modulate light passing through the first and second arms in response to an input data signal, and output a corresponding optical data signal. The apparatus may further comprise a control module coupled with the electro-optical modulator, to differentially adjust respective phases of first or second light portions passing through the first and second arms, to achieve a bias point for the optical data signal. The bias point may define a desired power output of the apparatus that corresponds to the optical data signal. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Claim (Index 30):
The apparatus of  claim 27 , wherein the control module includes a converter that includes:\n a photo detector, to receive a current value corresponding to a first or second power output that corresponds the first and second light portions, and to generate a voltage signal that corresponds to the first or second power output, based on the current value; an amplifier coupled with the photo detector, to amplify the voltage signal above a voltage sense threshold; and a microcontroller coupled with the photo detector to sense the voltage signal above the voltage sense threshold, and generate values for the first and second bias currents to inject into the first and second arms, in response to the receipt of the voltage signal.
