ABSTRACT:
A wideband optical ring modulator is disclosed. A ring resonator containing a synchronous travelling wave electro-optic modulator is disposed external to a laser cavity. The invention provides a compact lightweight optical modulator which combines the power enhancement capabilities of a resonant cavity with the wideband capabilities of a travelling wave coupling modulator. The present invention is especially useful for, although not limited to, ultra-wideband infrared laser communication systems utilizing PCM techniques.
