ABSTRACT:
Operating point trimming methods for an optical waveguide modulator and an optical waveguide switch are disclosed. One operating point trimming method for an optical waveguide modulator comprises, for example, the step of removing, while monitoring the waveform of an intensity modulated light beam, a portion of either one of a first and a second electrode such that the intensity modulated waveform takes on a desired waveform. One operating point trimming method for an optical waveguide switch comprises the step of removing a portion of either one of a first and a second electrode while monitoring output light beams.
