    Abstract: A device and method for optical isolation for use in optical systems is disclosed. The device provides for a waveguide optical isolator fabricated using two arms, made of optical waveguides comprising magneto-optical material, in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer configuration. The device of the present invention operates using the TM mode of a light wave and, thus, does not require phase-matching of TM and TE modes. Further, the present invention does not use polarizers to extinguish the optical feed-back.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for modulating a phase of optical beam in an electrically isolated active region of an optical waveguide. In one embodiment, an apparatus according to embodiments of the present invention includes an active region of an optical waveguide disposed in a semiconductor layer. The active region includes a p doped region and an n doped region. The apparatus further includes an insulating region disposed in the semiconductor layer surrounding the active region in the semiconductor layer. The insulating region electrically isolates the active region of the optical waveguide from a passive region of the optical waveguide disposed in the semiconductor layer. An optical beam is to be directed through the optical waveguide and through the active region to be phase shifted in response to a modulated charge region in the active region in the optical waveguide.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for modulating optical signals based on modulating bending losses in bend, quantum well semiconductor waveguide sections. The complex refractive index of the optical active semiconducting components of the waveguide section is modulated by applying a variable electric or electromagnetic field. The modulation of the complex refractive index results in a modulation of the refractive index contrast and the absorption coefficient for the waveguide at the frequency of the light. By carefully adjusting the composition of the semiconducting components and the applied electric field in relation to the frequency of the modulated radiation, the bending losses (and possibly coupling losses) will provide extinction of light guided by the bent waveguide section. The refractive index contrast may be modulated while keeping the absorption coefficient substantially constant and small, whereby the guided light can be modulated only by bending losses. Alternatively, the invention may be applied to enhance the extinction ratio of existing absorption modulators such as Electro-Absorption Modulators (EAMs) in which case extinction by absorption and extinction by bending losses co-operates to provide more compact modulators with improved performance (extinction) and speed.

    Abstract: An electro-absorption modulator is rendered capable of withstanding increased optical input power by one of the following means: incorporating a heat sink into the electro-absorption modulator structure to conduct heat away from the optical waveguide; incorporating a resistive member into the upper electrode of the electro-absorption modulator, producing a voltage drop that reduces absorption near the optical input end of the waveguide; making the bandgap energy of the absorbing layer of the waveguide higher at the optical input end than at the optical output end; and placing the electrode pad of the upper electrode near the optical input end.
