    摘要: An electro-optic device includes a semiconducting layer in which is formed a waveguide, a modulator formed across the waveguide comprising a p-doped region to one side and an n-doped region to the other side of the waveguide, wherein at least one of the doped regions extends from the base of a recess formed in the semiconducting layer. In this way, the doped regions can extend further into the semiconducting layer and further hinder escape of charge carriers without the need to increase the diffusion distance of the dopant and incur an additional thermal burden on the device. In an SOI device, the doped region can extend to the insulating layer. Ideally, both the p and n-doped regions extend from the base of a recess, but this may be unnecessary in some designs. Insulating layers can be used to ensure that dopant extends from the base of the recess only, giving a more clearly defined doped region. The (or each) recess can have non-vertical sides, such as are formed by v-groove etches, A combination of a vertical sidewall at the base of the recess and a non-vertical sidewall at the opening could be used.

    摘要: Machining of crystalline lithium niobate is carried out utilizing a laser having a beam with a wavelength near the absorption edge of lithium niobate. The laser beam is provided in pulses of short duration and at a repetition rate selected to ablate the surface of the lithium niobate without damaging the bulk material. Translation of the laser beam and the substrate with respect to each other can be carried out to define a trench of a desired geometry in the lithium niobate.
