The electro-optic component includes at least one optical material exhibiting an electro-optic effect. The optical grating is optically coupled with the electro-optic component. In some embodiments, the optical grating includes a vertical optical grating coupler. The buried back reflector is optically coupled with the optical grating. The buried back reflector is configured to increase a coupling efficiency of the optical grating to an out-of-plane optical mode and configured to reduce a performance perturbation to the plurality of electrodes. The buried back reflector may include a metal layer having a thickness of at least thirty nanometers and not more than five hundred nanometers."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Buried back reflector","description":"An optical device including a plurality of electrodes, an electro-optic component, an optical grating, and a buried back reflector is described.
