An integrated electro-optic module may contain a continuous layer of
electro-optic polymer through both a splitter portion and a modulator
portion in order to facilitate high speed data transmission. The
integrated electro-optic module may be fabricated by depositing a bottom
cladding layer on a wafer, creating side cladding features, depositing
the electro-optic polymer, and coating with a top cladding layer. The
electro-optic polymer in both the splitter portion and modulator portion
of the integrated electro-optic module may create inverted-ridge
waveguide structures. The waveguide in the splitter portion may have a
first ridge depth, and the waveguide in the modulator portion may have a
second ridge depth, the first ridge depth greater than the second ridge
depth.
