Abstract
Optical modulators with reduced temperature dependence on bias control are described. A set of bias electrodes is arranged relative to a set of RF electrodes in a manner which results in the opening point of the device remaining relatively constant as a function of temperature. The arrangement of the bias electrodes relative to the RF electrodes includes a physical offset of one set of electrodes relative to the other, with or without a reversal of polarity of one set of electrodes relative to the other. Arrangements according to the present invention create a symmetrical electrode arrangement from a temperature-induced stress point of view so that the operating point of the device remains relatively constant as a function of temperature.
