ABSTRACT:
An electro-optic modulator/mode-converter with slow wave electrode is formed on a semiconductor substrate incorporating a waveguide interposed between a pair of spaced parallel conductor strips each provided with fins projected toward the other electrode and in position relative to the waveguide to electro-optically affect the waveguide when voltage is applied to the conductor strips. The modulator requires significantly less power and operates at higher frequency than Mach-Zehnder type slow wave modulators.
