  • Patent number: 10203528
    Abstract: An optical device is described. This optical device includes an electro-optical material having an X-cut, Y-propagate orientation. In particular, a Y crystallographic direction of the electro-optical material is parallel to an optical waveguide defined in the electro-optic material and an X crystallographic direction of the electro-optical material is parallel to a vertical direction of the optical device. By applying drive signals having an angular frequency to the electro-optic material, the optical device may perform modulation, corresponding to a traveling-wave configuration, of an optical signal based at least in part on the drive signals. where the modulation involves a polarization conversion and a frequency shift. The angular frequency of the drive signals may be selected to approximately cancel electro-optic cross terms in X-Z plane of the electro-optical material. Moreover, an amplitude of the drive signals may be selected so that the optical device emulates a half-wave-plate configuration.
