ABSTRACT:
A method of amplitude electro-optic modulation. The method includes transmitting a narrowband laser light into an electro-optically active waveguide in a first direction. The electro-optically active waveguide has a grating for reflecting the narrowband laser light. The method also includes applying an electric signal to the electro-optically active waveguide and modifying the reflection of the grating in a wavelength region of the narrowband laser light by application of the electric signal.
