AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing electro-optic phase modulators have low photoelectric conversion efficiency, resulting in high power consumption.

Method used

The first and third stripes are made of doped semiconductor material of the first conductivity type, separated by a dielectric material structure and electrically coupled to the control voltage node by lateral extension of the extended region. Combined with the thin design of the middle strip, the modulation efficiency of free carrier density is improved.

Benefits of technology

This technology enables a given phase shift to be achieved at a lower control voltage, improving electro-optical conversion efficiency and reducing power consumption.
