Electro-optic modulator

Abstract

This invention provides an improved electro-optic modulator for optical integrated circuits (PICs). [Solution] An electro-optic modulator for an optical integrated circuit includes a substrate, a first waveguide on a first portion of the substrate, a second waveguide on a second portion of the substrate, and a first electrode in contact with the first waveguide, wherein the first waveguide includes a first electrode located between the first electrode and the first portion of the substrate, and a second electrode in contact with the second waveguide, wherein the second waveguide includes a second electrode located between the second electrode and the second portion of the substrate.
