Abstract
The invention relates to waveguide optical modulators wherein two or more waveguides are modulated with specific modulation strengths using a single straight signal electrode or a single multi-segment signal electrode. Modulation strengths for each of a plurality of waveguides modulated by a single multi-segment electrode are matched over a wide modulation frequency range. Linearized output characteristics with respect to second and third order distortions arc achieved in one aspect of the invention.
