Abstract
Performance of a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) is improved by using at least one electro-optic (EO) device included in the PIC to perform at least one EO conversion operation whereby an information signal is transitioned from a first signal carrier type to a second signal carrier type different from the first signal carrier type. The first and second signal carrier types are selected from the group consisting of an optical signal carrier and an electrical signal carrier. An operating bandwidth of the PIC is increased by performing electrical signal impedance matching operations directly on the at least one optical media substrate. An improved electrical impedance match is thus obtained between the EO device and a second device exclusive of the PIC.
