Integrated optics modulators

Integrated optics modulators are devices used to control light signals in optical communication systems. They manipulate the intensity, phase, or frequency of light traveling through small, integrated circuits, much like how electronic modulators work with electrical signals. By varying the properties of the light, these modulators can encode information for transmission over fiber-optic cables, enabling high-speed data transfer with minimal loss. Integrated optics modulators are crucial for technologies like the internet and telecommunications, allowing for efficient and compact solutions in modern communication networks.
