ABSTRACT:
A controllable integrated optical component comprises a substrate having electro-optical properties into which optical waveguides are introduced and given which metallizations in the form of a plurality of electrodes which are chargeable with electrical voltages are applied on or next to the optical waveguide. This, a coplanar microwave line is exposed next to the optical waveguides, whereby respectively one electrode is electrically connected to respectively one strip of the microwave line and should also enable a reproducible microwave mode even for microwave frequencies that are as high as possible. The electrodes are disposed between the strips of the microwave line. When the connecting lines between the electrodes and the strips of the microwave line are strip lines, the integrated optical component can be manufactured in planar technology. Fabrication is thereby significantly simplified.
