  • 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.
