US Patent Issued to HyperLight on Nov. 18 for "Low-loss waveguiding structures, in particular modulators" (Massachusetts Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 18 -- United States Patent no. 12,474,603, issued on Nov. 18, was assigned to HyperLight Corp. (Cambridge, Mass.).

"Low-loss waveguiding structures, in particular modulators" was invented by Mian Zhang (Cambridge, Mass.), Christian Reimer (Wellesley, Mass.) and Kevin Luke (Cambridge, Mass.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An optical modulator that uses adiabatic tapers to change the width of the waveguides between multimode waveguides and single mode waveguides on a low-loss, e.g. thin-film lithium niobate, electro-optic platform. The architecture enables the utilization of the fundamental mode of multimode wide optical waveguides that have lower optical propagation loss w...
