  • Patent number: 8592743
    Abstract: A transmission line and method for implementing includes a plurality of segments forming an electrical path and a continuous optical path passing through the segments. Discrete inductors are formed between and connect adjacent segments. The inductors are formed in a plurality of metal layers of an integrated circuit to balance capacitance of an optical modulator which includes the transmission line to achieve a characteristic impedance for the transmission line.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 30, 2012
    Date of Patent: November 26, 2013
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: William M. Green, Alexander V. Rylyakov, Clint S. Schow, Yurii A. Vlasov
