Abstract
An optical device including a waveguide, electrodes, and a connecting dielectric is described. The waveguide includes an electro-optic material having a waveguide optical refractive index and a waveguide microwave dielectric constant. The electrodes include a first electrode and a second electrode. The waveguide is between the first electrode and the second electrode. At least a portion of the connecting dielectric is between the waveguide and electrodes. The connecting dielectric has a microwave dielectric constant greater than the waveguide microwave dielectric constant.
