  • Patent number: 12232424
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method in which a first set of one or more voltage pulses is applied to a piezoelectric device over a first time period. During the first time period, the method determines whether a performance parameter of the piezoelectric device has a first value that deviates from a reference value by more than a predetermined value. Based on whether the first value deviates from the reference value by more than the predetermined value, the method selectively applies a second set of one or more voltage pulses to the piezoelectric device over a second time period. The second time period is after the first time period and the second set of one or more voltage pulses differs in magnitude and/or polarity from the first set of one or more voltage pulses.

  • Publication number: 20250048781
    Abstract: A modulator heater structure may include a plurality of regions having different thicknesses. For example, a heater ring of the modulator heater structure may have a first thickness. A heater pad of the modulator heater structure, that is configured to provide an electrical current to the heater ring, may have a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness. The lesser thickness of the heater ring of the modulator heater structure provides high electrical resistance in the heater ring, which enables the heater ring to quickly and efficiently generate heat. The greater thickness of the heater pad provides low electrical resistance in the second region, which enables the electrical current to be efficiently provided through the heater pad to the heater ring with reduced heat dissipation in the hear pad due to the lower electrical current dissipation in the heater pad.
