Abstract
Optical waveguide devices having adjustable waveguide cladding wherein the waveguide cladding is adjustable by using an external control or stimulus to change an optical characteristic of the waveguide cladding, e.g., the refractive index of the cladding. Such waveguide devices may be designed to have certain features that are suitable for monolithically integrated opto-electronic devices and systems.
