High speed electro-optic modulator designs are presented. One design includes first and second electrodes offset from each other and further includes a substrate supporting a laterally confined ferroelectric material, for example, LiNbO.sub.3. The confined ferroelectric material, in turn, supports first...http://www.google.de/patents/US6069729?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US6069729 - High speed electro-optic modulator
