Abstract
Embodiments are directed to photonic integrated circuits that include a carrier-based phase shifter. The carrier-based phase shifter is configured as a PIN phase shifter with a pair of traces that delivers current through a PIN diode. The PIN phase shifter is configured such that current flows through the pair of traces in a common direction.
