ABSTRACT:
A rib waveguide polarization modulator is described that permits easy application to monolithic optical circuits. The device comprises a rib waveguide having two polarization modulation sections with a phasing section between the two modulation section. The phasing section adjusts the phase of the optical radiation in the waveguide before it enters the second modulation section.
