ELECTRO-OPTIC MODULATOR TERMINATION

摘要

Embodiments presented in this disclosure generally relate to an electro-optic device that includes one or more modulator portions and a terminator portion. Each modulator portion is disposed along a propagation path of an optical signal and includes a respective first doped region and one or more coupled first electrical contacts. Each modulator portion operates to modulate an optical signal propagating through the first doped region using first electrical signals applied to the electrical contacts. The terminator portion is disposed along the propagation path and proximate to at least one modulator portions, and operates to mitigate effects of droop on the propagating optical signal.

1. An electro-optic device to provide modulation of an optical signal propagating along a propagation path, the electro-optic device comprising:
one or more modulator portions disposed along the propagation path, each modulator portion including:
a respective first doped region that is at least partially included within the propagation path, anda respective one or more first electrical contacts coupled with the first doped region,wherein each modulator portion operates to modulate the optical signal propagating through the first doped region using first electrical signals applied to the one or more first electrical contacts; and a terminator portion disposed along the propagation path and proximate to at least one modulator portion and which operates to mitigate effects of droop on the propagating optical signal.
