Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for providing a serializer and/or a deserializer with redundancy using optical modulators. An example system includes an MZM structure that comprises a first waveguide interferometer arm structure and a second waveguide interferometer arm structure. The first waveguide interferometer arm structure comprises a first segmented electrode associated with at least a first electrode and a second electrode. The second waveguide interferometer arm structure comprises a second segmented electrode associated with at least a third electrode and a fourth electrode. The MZM structure is configured to convert an optical input signal into an optical output signal through application of a digital data signal to the first electrode and the third electrode, and application of a redundant digital data signal to the second electrode and the fourth electrode.
