Abstract
An electro-optic devicecomprising a substrate in which first and second waveguidesare formed. The device also comprises first and second electrodescomprising an optically transparent conductive material and including primary portionsoverlying the first and second waveguidesfor electrically biasing the first and second waveguides. The device is configured such that one of the first and second electrodes includes one other portionarranged alongside the primary portionof the other of the first and second electrodes. This arrangement improves the electro-optic efficiency of the device without the need for a buffer layer in the electrodes.
